#so that dotd rewrite is out and i have some thoughts on it but i wouldn't know where to put them.. maybe in here bc i don't actually feel -#- like making a whole ass text post. this is coming from me as criticism and not hate.. just some crit from one fan to another if you get m#SPOILERS AHEAD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>#first off props to the team because this was obv a labor of love - 4 and a half years to make a feature long fan movie is hard work#and the animated stuff was a really nice touch and very commendable - you don't see them too often in big fanworks#in terms of the story well.. there are some things i like and some things that i don't (personally) again no hate#i'm aware this is a rewrite and boy howdy it IS a rewrite - though i am a bit sad that percy doesn't end up being the protagonist and it's#- thomas that has to play hero again.. like i kinda get it but what made the original dotd stand out was that percy was given the spotlight#so i spent an ungodly amount of time wondering when percy was gonna take charge or step into the main story to resolve the problem.. sigh#i liked that they tried to give norman more of a character bc a lot of characters do often get neglected in the series but it was kind of -#- hard to sell that for me? the twist in this rewrite was very creative and i do appreciate it but i guess it just ain't for me#âdifferentâ is ok and this is just one of many fan rewrites for this particular story#if there was something i enjoyed.. i guess the beginning was still kind of exciting because the set up was honestly like hype a bit#i liked that diesel and d10 actually got to interact face to face and there are clearer dynamics established for the diesels#and also. silverband's performances as d10 will always be fun he does a fantastic job voicing him (how d10 stole xmas will still be my fav)#my criticisms for this movie also derive from the pacing and the voice acting - i found it hard to try and understand tones sometimes -#- because the delivery felt so off.. like don't get me wrong not everyone in the fandom is a voice actor but if we're using static faces -#- for these fan works the delivery has to be a little more clear or else it'll sound like you're reading from a script.. sorry yall :"|#for the pacing i found it a bit hard to parse when some things were going on and how fast things were progressing#as well as the crashes.. that's also another thing bc i couldn't tell bc of the sfx and audio balancing - it could be better..#i wanna say. muffled voices do not substitute for a âfar awayâ/off-screen voice bc i still can't hear it :â|#there were a lot of throwbacks and references to older thomas media/movies but some of them felt a little.. much?#if this is a dotd rewrite why are we getting some parallels with tatmr.. but i digress. at least they made diesel beef with duck a bit#there's a lot more i could say but i'm keeping those to myself. at the end of the day this fan movie was hard work for everyone involved#and you can tell some of the folks were having fun in there - props to them! i'm always glad to see more fan works in the community#we've come so far we're making feature length fan stories and rewrites that's crazy! i hope to see more in the future#fauxtrainpost.txt

I LOVE YOU MWAHHH <33
i highly highly advise you to read the first part of this fic or else you wonât be able to understand some of the storyline and references :( you can find it here!
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
megumi fushiguro loved how much you talked.
ââand then i went to the bakery down the street from my campus to get that one coffee cake i always get? the one you brought me after my class?â
âmhm.â
âbut they were freaking out of it itâs like they knew i was coming to take their stock man. it was seven in the morning how the fuck are you out of coffee cake?â
megumi laughed softly and pressed a slow sweet kiss to your cheek, readjusting his arms around your waist as he scooched your body closer to his on his lap, the both of you on his huge black bean bag that sat in his living room as he leaned the side of his head back on your shoulder, relaxed and a little sleepy.
âso then i had to go to the one on campus, even though i already know it doesnât taste the sameâŚâ you sighed sadly. âwhat if they did that on purpose? what if they want me to stop coming?â
megumi huffed an amused breath through his nose and shook his head gently against your shoulder. âdonât think so baby. i feel like you keep them in business with how much you go.â
you huffed and crossed your arms, grumbling. âyet they treat me like this...â
tilting your head down then to get a better look at him, you peeked at his sleepy face and tired eyes as he tried his absolute hardest to stay awake for you, wanting to listen to everything you had to say and more, but his eyelids drooping every couple of seconds before opening back up again just not letting him.
you smiled softly and carded your fingers through his black hair, pushing the front strands back and giving him a cute peck on his forehead.
âtake a nap gumi⌠youâre so tired i can see it.â
âuh uh.â megumi hummed.
he lifted his head groggily and propped his chin up on your shoulder, eyes closed.
âkeep going.â he murmured, his words a little slurred. âdid you end up getting your coffee cake from the other bakery..?â
âi did.â you responded softly, caressing your thumb over his warm cheek as your soothing voice lulled him. âit was nasty. the end. câmon baby you have practice tomorrowââ
âno.â
âgumi itâs late i donât want to keep you uuupp.â you whined, nudging him.
âif you sleep over.â he mumbled.
âbut i have class tomorrow.â
âiâll take you.â
âbut you always do and i feel badâŚâ you pinched his cheek softly. âitâs okay i canââ
âdonât care.â
you giggled. âwell i do. i want you to get more sleep gumi, your practices are crazy long now and you have them like everydayââ
he groaned loudly and ushered you up, you complying as you watched him lazily stand from the bean bag and grab you, baggy eyes half lidded as he picked you up from around your legs and threw you over his shoulderâ something he always did ever since the day he confessed, and something you absolutely floored over whenever he did it.
your giggles rang through his quiet and spacious apartment that made him sleepily smile as he lazily carried you down the hall and to his room, setting you softly to sit on his plush bed as he pressed a sleepy kiss to the top of your head, though nearly almost missing, him leaning back up and grabbing the hem of his black shirtâ pulling it over his head and carelessly tossing it somewhere in the room before climbing into bed.
you felt so so bad. the teamâs schedule was released just two weeks prior, and seeing as the world series was coming upâ the most important segment of competitive games they could possibly ever have, the coaches and managers were grinding and overworking their players to pure fucking filth, them wanting to keep their streak as the number one baseball team no matter what it took.
and because of that, megumi was always so tired and stressedâ holding on day by day as the higher ups demanded so much of him because he was the most skilled on the team, him spending his days trying to stay awake and make time for youâ picking you up from class and taking you out to lunch like he always did, but your worried gaze always on his dark under eyes as you insisted and told him already that you understood, that he didnât need to right now if it was over the subject of his career.
and especially if it was for the world series.
âlay down.â he murmured, patting the pillow next to him as he peeked at you with one eye open.
you stood, pulled the covers back and hopped in, megumiâs arm immediately snaking around your waist and pulling your back to his bare chest, his face nuzzling in your hair as you noticed how quickly his breathing deepened, falling asleep almost the minute you got settled in his arms and fitting like a little puzzle piece.
it had been almost an entire year since you and megumi started dating, and you have never ever been happier in your life as you thanked your lucky stars over and over again for being such a dumbassâ wholly believing that if one thing had changed, it wouldnât have played out the way that it did.
and you adored the way that it played out.
megumi was so affectionate. everyday. his love language being physical touch as he literally never left you alone and always had to be touching you in any given situationâ like his hand on your thigh whenever he drove, playing with your fingers from across the table while out at a restaurant⌠and like now, his toned body literally engulfing you into his that it made you feel so cared for and warm and loved, something you always wanted to feel for the rest of your life as long as it was with him.
the next morning he drove you to school like he said he would, and then went straight to practice after, you telling him that you would be there once your classes were over.
and when you did get to the stadium later that day, megumi was mad.
âwhat the fuck happened?â you quickly sat next to your best friend on the sidelines, her snickering as you both watched megumi tell off another player for fumbling a double play on the field.
âtheyâre making more errors today,â your girl friend sighed. âtheyâre all nervous since their division series game is tomorrow and theyâre getting closer to the big thing⌠but megumi is not having it.â
âyou bobbled the ball go to first fucking base and eat it what the hell are you doing trying toââ
you gnawed at your bottom lip.
it was common for megumi to bark out orders and take charge on the field, that wasnât out of the ordinary, but it was only here and there where he was yelling and insulting the rest of his teammates like that (mostly rarely). a sign you knew was because he was stressing the fuck out.
âwhat you just did was a kiddie fucking error we wonât make it to the world series like this dingus the fuck are youââ
you covered your face and groaned. âi canât watch⌠i donât think iâve seen him like this since that one day he asked me to come here.â
âyou mean the day he ate you out inââ
âshuuushhh!â your hands shot out and slapped over her mouth as she let out a muffled laugh, your eyes wide and cheeks pink as you frantically looked around to see if anybody had heard her.
she took your wrists then and pulled them away. âhave you guys even had sex yet? how many times am i gonna ask you until you say yesââ
you nudged her away. âno! we havenât yet.â
you didnât know why you hadnâtâ the topic just one that was never brought up by either of you.
but youâve definitely done other things though.
megumi was like a dog, not knowing the meaning of âkeep your hands to yourselfâ as he was always groping your ass in public out of no where just to hear you squeak in surprise, shoving his hands down your pants and making you cum repeatedly on his fingers when youâre both innocently just watching a movie on his couch, pressing his face into your tits and sucking hickeys whenever you wore a low cut shirt, and bullying his way in between your legs to lick and devour you up whenever he felt like itâ all things he did with zero hesitation nor self control.
you werenât complaining though, definitely notâ you were just as freaky.
because every time megumi wore those gray sweatpants after practices that you loved oh so very much, no shirt on with his perfect toned body out only for your eyesâ your mouth was on him, licking his chest all the way down to his pelvis, tugging the waistband of his sweatpants and boxers down until all that was left before you was his mlb dick, you taking him into your mouth and sucking the absolute life out of him until he was shaking and breathlessly chanting your pretty name like a prayerâ
âbreak!â
you pulled yourself from your thoughts and stood, your eyes already watching the way megumi walked over from across the field with his head down, chest heaving and his face glistening with sweat against the setting sun, his baseball uniform covered in dirt.
both you and your girl friend walked down the steps and towards the bullpen, you quickly grabbing a clean white hand towel from the gatorade jug rack beforehand and catching up, spotting yuji and megumi already seated inside on a bench.
upon megumi noticing you coming up, he smiled softly, tiredly.
âyou guys are sucking today.â your best friend deadpanned, and you elbowed her.
âno. you guys just look really nervous⌠is everything okay?â
you took a seat next to megumi and silently offered the clean towel, him gently bringing up your extended wrist and pecking it in gratitude before taking the towel and wiping down his face, your cheeks flushing in response.
yuji sighed deeply and shook his head, scratching the back of his neck. âeveryoneâs literally losing it. we win every year but each year that comes is extra added pressure to keep that up.â
megumi nodded wordlessly in agreement, his head hung.
âwell this is your first bad practice isnât it?â you softly mentioned.
âyeah⌠maybe itâs just today and you guys will be okay tomorrow.â your girl friend added, smiling comfortingly at yuji, him giving her the same smile back but with apprehension in his eyes.
âwouldâve been fine if it was yesterday.â megumi cut in, voice monotone. ânot today. not when itâs the last leg for the world series.â
he leaned back against the wall and crossed his arms with closed eyes, yuji nodding next to him.
you pulled your lips into a thin line, heavy anxiety brewing in your chest at the thought of them possibly losing before even getting into the league championships, something their team has never done before as theyâve always just gone straight through.
in order to get through to the world series, their team has to win the division series and the league championships, then they earn their rightful shining spot of playing in the world series and winningâ something megumi has been a part of for almost three years now, and something the team has dominated over for five consecutive years straight.
but what if this year was different?
âhow are you feeling?â you gently asked megumi after a bit. âi saw you were a little mad today on the fieldâŚâ
he slowly pried his eyes open and looked at you, sighing softly through his nose.
âmâfine pretty baby.â he murmured. âtheyâre just not playing like they should be.â
megumi took his cap off and scratched the side of his head, his eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. âand neither am i to be honest.â
your eyes softened.
âwhat do you mean?â
âmâjust not meeting the standards i set for myself.â
âbut you play well in every game gumi..â you mumbled. âdonât overwork yourself please. just keep doing what youâve been doing⌠itâs been going great so far, hasnât it?â
he gave you a little smile and lazily reached up to delicately caress and run the ends of your hair through his fingers. âi need to amp it up though. i need to try harder.â
âtry harder when youâre already winning?â you quirked a confused brow.
he nodded.
âwhatâs the reason behind that?â
megumi gave you a sly smile. âbecause youâll be watching me.â
you gawked, shaking your head at him. âgumi, you know anything that you do makes me freak out and itâs embarrassing...â you subconsciously tugged a bit at the sides of his jersey. âthe way you tied my shoes for me the other day made me freak out. the way you pumped my gas last week made me freak out. the way you stuck your fingers inside my puââ
his eyes bulged open as he shot forward and muffled you with a kiss, you kissing him back and laughing cutely once he pulled away.
ânasty mouthâŚâ he mumbled, but the little grin on his face made you giggle as he put his cap back on over his head and nudged it down, trying to conceal his eyes and the blushing of his cheeksâ but you catching on anyways.
âhow was class?â he asked quietly, readjusting his cap. âdid you get your coffee cake after i dropped you off?â
you shook your head. âno because iâd rather die than get the one on campus. they need to close that place down.â
megumi snorted, but his eyebrows pinched momentarily as he took your hand in his and started playing with your fingers. âyou shouldâve told me. i wouldâve drove you to the one you like.â
âno gumi i wasnât gonna make you do that... i wanted you to sleep in as much as possible.â
âiâll take you after practice.â
âno! you need to nap after donât waste timeââ
âmânot wasting time.â he replied, but before you could get another word in, his coach called all players back on field.
âiâll see you after.â he stood and pecked your forehead. âi love you pretty baby.â
you smiled shyly, your cheeks a cute pink.
âi love you too.â
thankfully, megumi didnât seem as pissed off for the rest of practice, and you hoped it was because of the little chat you had with him in the bullpen prior and that it cheered him up in some wayâ the team playing a lot better and actually working together this time instead of being at each others throats over feeble mistakes.
and when they were all finally back at the locker rooms packed up and ready to go, you organized his clean uniform for tomorrow and hung his gloves neatly inside his locker, closing it once you were done.
âyou donât have to do that baby.â he murmured, gesturing to his locker as he swung his duffel bag over his shoulder and extended a hand. âorganize. i can do that.â
âbut i like doing it...â you took his offering hand and interlaced your fingers with his. âit helps you find things quicker.â
you both stepped out, quickly bidding your girl friend and yuji goodbye on the way as you walked down the echoey hallway together.
ââyou also donât have to drive me to school every morning but you do that anyways.â
he smiled. âtouchĂŠ.â
he led you out of the arena and over to the private parking area for players and crewâ him opening the passenger side door for you to step inside and shutting it after, throwing his duffel bag to the back once he got in the drivers seat.
and like he always did, megumi buckled you up himself, grabbing the seat belt strap and pulling it over you to click on the other side with a kiss to your cheekâ him never letting you do it yourself since the day you two properly met.
âdo they sell food at the bakery?â he looked over at you as he pulled out. âthey do donât they.â
âthey do!â you nodded sweetly. âbut weâre not going.â
âwhy.â
âbecause you need to sleepââ
âno.â
âmegumiââ
he shot you a glare and you squeaked.
âgumi! i-i meant gumi!â
he fixed his glare and broke out into a small smile instead, laughing lightly as he set his big hand over your thigh and squeezed lovingly.
you giggled softly.
âlunch first and then iâll sleep.â
âoh myââ
you reached over for the door handle and pulled, brows furrowing once the lock wouldnât budge after multiple frantic tries.
âyou still have child lock on?!â
megumi shielded his mouth to hide his snicker, eyes to the road.
âuh huh.â
âwhy?!â
he gave you a deadpanned look and pointed to the door. âexhibit a, baby. the car is moving.â
âgumi if you hate me just say that.���
pulling into the bakeryâs parking lot, he playfully rolled his eyes at your comment and pinched your cheek gently.
âbe quiet.â
the bakery was a cute little place that was a frequent pit stop for the both of you to pick up breakfast on the way to the things you had to do in the morningsâ always cozy and warm and filled with little trinkets and postcards of places from around the world, you always gushing when you or megumi would spot a new souvenir on the walls or on the shelves, and him sometimes having to stop you from snatching some for yourselfâŚ
âthey have a million!â you whispered. âthey wonât notice this one. please itâs from greece itâll look cute on my fridge!â
megumi sipped his lemonade and gave you a half lidded look as you both sat in a booth.
âi donât know if anyone has ever told you this but.â he gently slid the coffee cake closer to you, silently ushering you to eat. âthatâs called stealing.â
ânot if they donât notice.â
megumi gave you an amused smile.
âiâll take one for you too!â
âfor me?â
âyeah!â you put your elbow on the table and propped your chin on your palm, tilting your head with the cutest expression megumi has ever seen in his fucking life.
âiâd do anything for you.â
his cheeks flooded pink, and he swallowed thickly.
megumi would do anything for you.
âi appreciate that pretty baby,â he murmured, tenderly tracing the pad of his index finger mindlessly around the back of your hand.
âgreat! so can i do it?â
âno.â
âmaaannnn!â you slumped over the table and pouted. âyouâre no fun.â
he chuckled and took a bite out of his ham and cheese deli, your mannerisms sometimes reminding him of his dad.
he swallowed.
âgojo wants to meet you.â
you froze. âreally? he does?â
megumi nodded.
âokay! thatâs okayâ wait no! waitââ you groaned and leaned against the booth. âi donât think heâs gonna like me very muchâŚâ
âhuh?â his eyebrows furrowed. âwhy do you say that?â
you peered up at him sheepishly. âbecause i talk too much⌠iâm not gonna notice and end up telling him my lore, my school gpa, and my social security number.â
megumi laughed, and your heart fluttered at the sight of his crinkling eyes and gorgeous smile, the sound of it making you swoon.
he shook his head and rubbed his sleepy eyelids. âno baby... heâd love you. i know he would.â
âi donât know gumiâŚâ you sighed, looking down at your lap. âi want to meet him of course! thatâs a given⌠but..â
megumi quirked a brow. âbut?â
âi just donât want to look stupidâŚâ you laughed nervously. âitâs happened before where my friends parents say iâm a blabber mouth and i donât want to embarrass youââ
his tired eyes narrowed. âblabber mouth? whoâs saying youâre a blabber mouth?â
âmyâ my ex boyfriend in high schoolâŚâ you cowered a little. âbut itâs okay because i was over sharing!ââ
âno.â he said firmly, his gaze looking directly into yours. âyouâre not a blabbermouth. thereâs a difference between being really open and friendly with people right off the bat and being a blabbermouth.â
megumi shook his head in annoyance. how could someone ever say you were a blabbermouth? he had never heard something that was so far from the truth.
you were too sweet for your own good, that was your only fault. you considered everyone you met a close friend of yours and werenât afraid to tell them whatever came to your precious mind and made them feel welcomeâ something that megumi adored so much about you⌠so much, and something that made him borderline violent when people berated you for it.
âthey just canât handle it when someone is actually genuine. like you. and thatâs not your fault.â
the shiniest smile grew on your face then, your eyes sparkling and feeling like a million fucking butterflies were fluttering all over your tummyâ internally screaming at his words.
âthank you gumiâŚâ you spoke softly. âiâm glad at least you donât see an issue with it.â
âi donât.â he shook his head. âi donât at all.â
he loved it.
the rest of your lunch date was spent with megumi still not letting you steal the greece trinket magnet from the wall, you scolding him for the bags under his eyes, and him buying you two more slices of coffee cake to go no matter how many times you told him it was okay, the both of you gathering your things and going back to his car after a bit for him to drop you off back home.
âiâll be here in the morning to take you to class.â he said gently, turning the corner and nearing your street.
âwhat? isnât the division series game tomorrow?â you asked, taken aback. âgumi no just get as much sleep as you can itâs a big day. i can take myself.â
he looked at you boredly.
âno.â
âguumiii!â
he pulled into your driveway and shifted his gear into park, the corners of his mouth turned upward into a little goofy grin.
âi can take you baby itâs fine,â he pushed gently. âdonât worry.â
âyouâve been stressed though⌠and tired.â
you unbuckled your seatbelt and reached over, wrapping your arms around his neck and pulling him in as he immediately leaned in and tucked his face into your neck, breathing in your honeyed perfume and letting himself slump into your soft frame.
âplease promise me that after the division series, youâll rest up like crazy before the league championships.â he pulled back slightly to look at you, his eyes nearly closing as he sleepily blinked. âokay?â
âleague championships? didnât know we already won.â he murmured.
you giggled. âobviously. youâre my cool baseball man, are you not?â
he tiredly grinned and pressed a sweet sweet kiss to your cheek, him biting down on it after and making you yelp before snickering and pulling away.
âbye gumi,â you quickly grabbed a slice of coffee cake and placed it on his leg. âhere eat this on the way home so you donât fall asleep.â
he chuckled and watched as you grabbed your things, hopped out, and ran across the front of his car, leaning your head in through his open window once you reached him and pressing your soft lips to his, megumi fucking melting at the feeling.
you pulled apart and he pecked you one last timeâ a series of i love youâs iterated before you backed away and waved excitedly from your front door, him waiting until you were inside to reverse, his engine roaring and his black car shining against the moonlight as he sped down the street.
the next morning you got up around the time that you usually did, showered and did your hair and got ready for class, packed your school bag and made your bedâ
but megumi hadnât texted you. like at all.
he usually sent you a good morning text, followed by him letting you know when he was leaving the house, followed by when he was on his way, and followed by when he was just down the street and pulling up.
except you got nothing.
you figured maybe today was just one of those days where he maybe just simply forgot and was already on his way, but as you stood literally outside of your house, gnawing on your thumb and the time coming painfully close to the start of your morning class as you still got nothing from megumi (even when you had texted him multiple times at this point), you started shitting it.
just as you were about to run inside to get the keys to your car, your phone buzzed as a picture of you and megumi flashed across the screen.
megumi!
âhelââ
âbaby!ââ he breathed out, frantic. âbaby iâm sorry iâm so sorry iâm coming okay im down the streetââ
âwhat happened?â you breathed out worriedly, your heart hammering against your chest.
âi overslept!ââ he explained quickly. âiâm late to the teamâs call time andâ and youâre late to class and iâ fuck!â
you heard his horn blare and his tires screech as muffled curses flew from his mouth, you jumping at the noise.
âsorry sorry someone cut me off iâm almost thereââ
âno gumi go straight to the stadium youâre late!â you spoke firmly. âi can take myselfââ
âno but i wanted to see you before the gameââ
âitâs fine we can see each other after the game okay? when you winââ you grabbed your keys from the coffee table by your door and ran out, unlocking your car and getting in. âyouâre late baby so fucking late please turn back this isnât good coach is gonna chew you outââ
âshit! i know i knowââ
âgo gumi hang up itâs okay!â
âokay.. fuck okay okayââ
you heard rustling on the other line before he spoke again.
âi love you iâm sorry ill see you after!â
and the line went dead.
you slugged through the rest of your classes as the day felt way fucking longer than it normally did, you desperately just wanting to see megumi and know that he was okay, that he wasnât in trouble with his coach and the management team for being over an hour late to the division series call time, you on the verge of literal tears multiple times over him.
your best friend and you had planned to get ready for the game together and sport your menâs jerseys from the standsâ a girlâs night you were agonizingly looking forward to all freaking month, and so so excited that the day was finally here to support and be present for the making of yet another year for the boysâ team.
âand then he hung up. i thought he was gonna get into a wreck manââ
you ran your fingers through your styled hair in your vanity mirror, your best friend readjusting her jersey behind youâ âitadoriâ in big capital letters on the back.
âmegumi is the most hard headed mean stubborn man i have ever come across in my life.â she searched around in her makeup bag, pulling out her lip liner and reapplying next to you. âi donât know how many times you told him to sleep and get some rest. and yuji too! he hasnât stopped talking about him since the schedule change and now iâm starting to think heâs in love with him.â
you laughed loudly.
âi knowâŚâ you sighed anxiously through your nose, nervous clammy jitters in your chest. âhis eye bags have gotten so bad this past week.â
âi think itâs because heâs been practicing over time.â
you stopped.
âwhat do you mean?â
she looked at you quizzically. âi thought you knew? yuji told me that the higher ups had a meeting with megumi and told him that they were expecting him to bring the world series home.â
she popped the lid back on her lip liner and threw it in her bag. âhe practices all night on the field until like four am.â
âwhat the fuck?â your eyes narrowed. âhe never told me that? he picks me up for my seven am class everyday⌠that means heâs only been getting whatâ like two and a half hours of sleep this past week?â
she stopped. âhe didnât tell you?â
âno!â you exclaimed. âwhen was this meeting?â
âat the start of last week.â
âoh my god.â you grumbled.
why didnât he tell you?
âthatâs fucked up.â she shook her head. âtalk to him about that after babe⌠i donât know why this man didnât tell you something like that.â
âi wouldâve never let him pick me up for class if i knew this was going onâŚâ you gloomily fiddled with the buttons on your jersey. âor hang out with me after practice.â
and why the hell were the higher ups demanding so much from megumi? why were they burning him out with a responsibility so huge as to ensuring the success of the team for the world series? that wasnât fair to him. that wasnât fair at all.
your girl friend hugged you comfortingly.
âitâs fine donât worry about it okay?⌠just talk to him after.â
once at the stadium, you and your best friend squeezed and pushed through the crowd to get to the v.i.p. section, the both of you sweating and panting over having run across the stadiumâs parking lot and the main area, all because your best friend couldnât decide which way to do her hair, and because you couldnât decide if you should wear a skirt or jeans.
you ended up choosing for each other and calling it a day.
âhey! you guys!â
you both snapped your heads up and you recognized the source of the voice as one of the assistant crew members of the team, jogging up to you guys with two devices in his hands.
âyou guys want these radios or are you good? theyâre connected to the announcers and have earbuds!â
âoh iâll take one! thank you!â you answered politely, smiling as he passed you and your best friend a radio.
you pushed the earbud into your left ear and sat.
the crowd was buzzing and cheering with excitement, flashes of light shimmering throughout the sold out stadium as many held up posters and signs or bobble heads, you smiling wide every time you spotted a few of megumiâs face and name.
the air was warm, and every kind of news reporter, publicist, and journalist was present on the sidelines as they filmed and interviewed several players from the opposing team.
âletâs play ball!â
the crowed roared, claps and whistles ringing through the air as yuji walked out from the dugout, the both of you screaming as the rest of the team followed suit, your shoulders evidently relaxing at the sight of megumi jogging out into position looking absolutely jaw dropping in his clean cut uniform and cap, serious and focused.
as the game ensued, it was no surprise that the boysâ team was absolutely demolishing the opposing players, megumi doing fucking stellar out on the field as he caught ball after ball with his glove, the announcers commentary certainly helping with explaining the context of the game due to your lack of knowledge, but you trying your hardest anyways to understand on your own.
and finally after a while of switching sides and megumi hitting like a greek god, the teams switched sides what seemed like the final time since it was almost the nine inning, his turn to hit.
âwalking up to base now⌠number eighteenâ megumi fushiguro!â
the crowd went fucking insane as he walked up, you immediately standing and screaming over the railing as he took his position up thereâ swinging soft faux hits before properly adjusting his footing on the loose dirt, fans waving around their fushiguro banners or his baseball cards as he settled.
the bags under his eyesâŚ
you gnawed anxiously at your bottom lip. his team was so close to moving on to the league championshipsâŚ
âand the pitcher throwsâŚ.â
hit!
âstrike one!â
megumi screwed his eyes shut and grimaced, shaking his head furiously as he shook the nerves from his body and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
âoh!â the announcers groaned. âlooks like megumi fushiguro missed a hit for the first time in history!â
for the first time?
you whipped your head around to face your girl friend. âfor the first time?â
she looked at you with the same terrorized expression.
âfuck i knew he always hit but i didnât know he never missedâŚâ you whined worriedly. âheâs exhausted man i can see it lookââ
megumiâs footing slightly slipped from the dirt as he positioned himself, getting ready for the next swing.
âand the pitcher throws againâŚâ
hit!
âstrike two!â
âfuck!â megumi roared, walking off the home plate and chucking his bat to the wallâ the wood flying and clattering as it hit the ground, your eyes widening in horror.
âwoah looks like fushiguro got another strike and.. needs to take a breather off the field..?â
âif megumi doesnât get this next hit, theyâre done!â your girl friend shook her head, eyes wide and afraid. âthe other team is gonna take it!â
you ran your fingers through your hair exasperatedly, frantically looking at the scoreboard and back at megumi who was pacing a little off the plate with his head down, his hands on his hips.
âfushiguro!â you spotted yuji yelling from the dugout. âget back on the plate! we could get flagged!â
megumiâs chest heaved as he picked up his bat and wiped off the dirt, walking back over to the home plate and repositioning himself.
cameras flashed and recorded as he tried to get back into focus, news reporters talking their asses off and journalists scribbling god knows whatâ as they just earned themselves their biggest headline of the season.
megumi fushiguro missed his first hit in playing history.
âand the pitcher throwsâŚâ
hit!
âoh there it goes! looks like a fair ball!â
the crowd rallies as megumi books it over the first two bases, everyone watching as the ball hits over the outfield fence as he fucking dashes across the remaining two bases like nothing, earning himself a home runâ
and scoring a spot in the league championship games for his team.
you and your best friend jump for complete joy, throwing your arms around each other and swaying as fans all around you celebrated and cheered just like the both of you, you happily watching the players from the dugout run up and engulf megumi in a group hug, jumping and laughing.
as the crowd began to disperse and take leave, you both quickly ran down the steps and to the field, you immediately spotting megumi and running up to him with your arms out.
âgumi!â
he noticed you and extended his arms, but his face read nothing as you jumped into them.
âgood job good job! you did so amazing!â
ânice fushiguro!â yuji nudged his shoulder. âyou brought us through!â
âi missed the first two hits.â
he set you back down.
yuji shrugged. âso? it happens. i do it all the time! you made a home run and scored us the league.â
megumi only silently nodded, his face to the ground as you told yuji and your best friend that you would see them in the locker rooms with everybody else.
and once everyone had cleared out from the field, you turned to him.
âheyâŚâ you started. âwhatâs wrong?â
his eyes remained glued to the dirt.
âi missed the first two hits.â
your shoulders deflated. âyou heard what yuji said⌠itâs okay. it was bound to happen but itâs fine because you fixed itââ
âwe were on thin fucking ice today.â
his snippy tone took you by surprise a bit.
âyes⌠but you made it...â you responded softly. âyou all pulled through. especially you.â
he scoffed and shook his head, him finally raising his baggy eyes and looking to the side, pissed.
âi almost cost us the league. thatâs what i did.â
âgumiââ you exhaled a frustrated breath. âyou literally played like a machine the entire time and had other hits that were amazing? i donât understand why two little strikesââ
his eyes snapped to yours. âtwo little strikes?â he shook his head again. âtwo strikes too fucking many.â
âwhat is your issue?ââ
âmy issue is that if i fucked up that third hit it wouldâve been all over. we wouldâve lost the division, lost the league, and lost the world series, all because i donât know how to fucking play ballââ
âyes you do! youâre being way too hard on yourself baby you need to take a breather and restââ
âhow many times have you nagged me about that already.â he spat.
you froze.
ânagged?â you repeated softly.
âyes. youâve told me enough times i get it i need rest, i need sleep, i need this i need thatââ
âiâm saying that because look at you!â you motioned with your hands, feeling potential tears prickling at the back of your eyes at the way he was speaking to you. âyour under eyes are dark and purple, your eyes are red you look exhausted!â
âand i told you iâm fine!â he raised his voice a bit. âyou wouldnât understand the shit that i have to do for this team the shit i have to pull and i gave them absolute garbage todayââ
âoh my god megumi!â you snapped. âyour team is a team effort! itâs not just you! youâre not the only one pulling the stops so enough with trying to take on this load and overwork yourself! please you played amazing today everyone was cheering so loud for you andââ
âstop talking.â
you paused.
âjustââ he rubbed his tired eyes and turned to the side. âjust please stop talking.â
stop⌠talking?
he struck a chord, and you felt your heart literally break at his words, an aching heavy pit in your chest as you recounted his yelling and snappiness when all you were trying to do was help him.
thats all youâve ever tried to do for megumi reallyâ help him, support him, and love him. but for him to throw it all back in your face and say you didnât understand? for you to basically shut up?
tears were slipping past your eyes at this point, and when you felt like megumi finally bothered to look at you in the face, his eyes widened and his shoulders dropped.
âbabyââ
âand what about you?â
he stopped. âabout meââ
âyes about you. youâre saying i donât understand anything youâre fucking going through, as if i havenât followed you through your career since the moment we met and before that, like i havenât supported you on the sidelines and asked you question after question about your games just so i can fucking understandââ
âno iââ
you cut him off. âand then youâre hereâ yelling at me, telling me off, and telling me to shut up when iâm the only one fucking standing here with you after the game trying to be there for you?!ââ
âbabyâ fuck iâm sorry okay i didnât meanââ
you laughed bitterly. âyou didnât mean it. didnât mean what? to accidentally let it slip that you actually do think iâm a blabbermouth?â
he was taken aback as his eyebrows furrowed, shaking his head desperately. ânoâ no thatâs not what i meant at all y/n iâm sorry. iâve been so stressed and tired and iâm taking it all out on you right now andâ and thatâs not okay and not an excuse.â
megumi quickly stepped forward and placed his hands on your face, but you pushed him away, hurt flashing across his eyes as you did so.
âand why didnât you tell me about the meeting huh? the one with the higher ups last week?â
surprise crossed his face. âhow did youââ
âdoesnât matter how i heard it. why didnât you tell me? do you understand how that makes me feel when i have to find out through someone else and not my own boyfriend?â
he ran a hand through his spiky black hair and sighed exhaustedly.
âi didnât tell you because i knew you would be upset about it and i didnât want you to worryââ
âso you just chose to keep it from me thatâs real nice.â you spat. âof course i wouldnât be happy with it theyâre stripping you down and exploiting you! how could they say that itâs all on you to bring it home for the world series? do you understand how insane that sounds?â
âi know but i canât tell them anything i just have to say yes!â he explained.
âyou have every right to tell them something! and if you wouldâve communicated this with me like you shouldâve done, i wouldnât have let you lose so much sleep over me and maybe you wouldnât have played the way you think you played, and you wouldnât be standing here shitting all over me!â
he really struck a chord.
ây/nââ
âbye megumi.â
his breath hitched.
ânoâ hey donât do thatââ
he scrambled after you as you made your way out of the field, him quickly catching up and tugging you into him with his long arms around your shoulders, bringing your back to his front as he ducked his face down.
âletâs fix it please we need to fix thisââ
âi want to be alone right now, megumi.â you mumbled.
god he hated how many times youâve called him that already tonight, feeling like the biggest asshole to ever grace your precious life.
âno i donât want you to be upset with me pleaseââ
âwe can talk later on the phone.â your tone was lifeless. âi just need to be alone.â
he faltered, feeling gutting pain cascade all over his body as he hesitantly, slowly, slipped his arms away and released you.
âoâokay.â
he watched you walk up the stands and to the exit as you clutched yourself, his eyes catching the back of your jersey reading his last name that sent an immediate pang through his chest, your frame disappearing from his view and leaving him in his stupid thoughts as he snatched his cap off from his head and threw it to the side in frustration.
that night megumi tried to call you but you didnât pick up, you barely even answering his texts as he wallowed in self pity alone in his apartment.
and you hadnât stopped crying since the moment your tears hit on the fieldâ hurt and exhausted and guilty as you settled into bed, unable to bring yourself to call him and go through with your word, deciding to text instead.
(you): iâm really tired iâm sorry. iâll see if i can call you in the morning.
megumi took no time at all to respond.
(gumi <3): can i take you to class tomorrow?
(you): i donât think thatâs a good idea
he swallowed the lump in his throat and fought back the urge to fight it, wanting to respect you and your space.
but you only kept crying.
(gumi <3): okay
(you): goodnight
(gumi <3): goodnight pretty baby
just as you were about to place your phone back on your nightstand, it buzzed again.
(gumi <3): i love you iâm sorry
you sniffled and put your phone away officially, choosing not to respond.
the following week leading up to the league championship game, megumi spent every waking moment trying to make it up to you, trying to fix it, but you only seemed to stay away from him and distance yourself, something that hurt megumi like no other.
you felt like it was your fault he played the way he did that day. if you had been smarter, more mindful, you wouldâve noticed that the intensity of his exhaustion was extremely abnormal, and perhaps you couldâve done something about it before it was too late and saved yourself the dreadful fight you had with him.
you hated the way you spoke to him, and you fully convinced yourself that you only served as a distraction for him, opting to keeping your distance as far away as possible so it allowed megumi to get his head focused again and ensure a promised route to the world seriesâ something you had hoped to be there to witness, but deeming his success way more important than your needs at this point in time.
so you stopped going to all of his practices following that day, the fact tormenting megumi as you always went to each and every single one and was there for him without faultâ rain or shine, always waiting for him in the locker rooms when he was finished.
but you werenât there anymore. and each day you werenât was another day megumi would spend angry and frustrated with himself that he did what he did. he knew your defense mechanism was pushing people away, and your current behavior gave him flashbacks to the time last year when he was falling for you and you kept running away from him, scaredâ those actions a carbon copy of whatâs happening now, except far worse.
and he did that to you. he yelled at you and snapped at you, told you to stop talking for some fucking reason that he still couldnât find the proper explanation for⌠and he made you cry. so much. your usual sweet honeyed voice you spoke to him with long gone since that day.
and he missed you. more than anything.
âyou stupidââ throw âself absorbedââ throw âassholeââ throw ânarcissisticââ throwâ
âokay thatâs enough thatâs enough!â
yuji pulled your best friend back as she chucked towel after towel at megumi following one of their practices, her absolutely fuming.
he took every hit, not bothering to dodge. he deserved it.
âshe told me what you didââ she shook herself away from yujiâs grip. âwhat the hell is the matter with you? how could you yell at her like that on the field? when all sheâs ever done is love youââ
âi know.â megumi mumbled, rubbing his eyes. âi know iâm really sorry. i regret it.â
âfuck yeah you should,â she scoffed. âthat womanâs been cooped up every day in her room bawling her eyes out over you!â
yuji nodded sadly, and megumi let out a pained breath as he closed his eyes and covered his face with his hands, propping his elbows on his knees, leaning forward.
âfuck meâŚâ
âyeah fuck youââ
âokay! okay. heâs already down let him bleed out.â yuji muttered to her as he rubbed his hands over her arms soothingly, an attempt at calming her down.
he looked at him. âmegumi, you and i both know that she understands you were frustrated that day. the both of you. if you just talk to herââ
âyou think i havenât tried?â megumi picked his head up, and the both of them froze at the way his eyes glossed over.
âiâveâ iâve called her, iâve texted her, i drove by her house but sheâs never there, fuck i even went to her campus at seven in the morning but couldnât find her.â
he took his cap off and roughly rubbed over his eyes again.
your best friend sighed then after a moment, slowly stepping forward and sitting down next to him on the bench.
âsheâll come around megumi.â she mumbled. âjust give her some time. i know itâs hard, but she really really loves you.â she sighed deeply. âsheâll come around.â
megumi nodded solemnly, and yuji stepped forward, patting his shoulder.
âyou okay man?â
he nodded again.
missed phone calls, lagging dry texts, and last minute cancellations from you all happened for a week straight.
and when the time finally came for the league championships, megumi wanted nothing more than for you to be there as he stared at his messy fucking locker when prepping for the gameâ another reminder that you hadnât been around, and another reminder that you wouldnât be here tonight to see him, something he completely did not blame you for.
luckily, the league championship game was at their home base once more, and as the crowd got settled to watch, energies heightened as the players all got settled over the field to play ballâ megumi shook the nerves from his body as he focused with the game, and you, on his mind like a religion.
and as the game ran on with the team scoring run after run, another win was blatantly obvious for themâ megumi entirely unaware of your presence that was watching him the entire time in the stands.
you couldnât help yourself. you needed to be there to watch him, needed to see him take home another achievement like that, regardless of where you both stood as you watched from just above the v.i.p section, shivering like an idiot because you forgot to bring a jacket after deciding to wear a flowy tube top for the day, but excited for him nonetheless.
you didnât tell a single soul you were coming, not even your best friend as you just wanted to see megumi again before running off into the shadows of your embarrassing despair, missing him like fucking crazy and nearly sobbing when you saw him walk out on the field at the start, but even more emotional to the fact that they were actually going to move on to the world series by the looks of it.
and the crowd hollered eventually as the speakers blasted megumiâs teams signature songâ
finalizing their spot in the world series.
your eyes glowed as you watched his team run up on the field and tackle each other down, literally rolling in the dirt as you giggled to yourselfâ sighing contently and about to turn and walk out of the stadium to go home when a strong rough hand wrapped around your bare upper arm.
âyouâre fushiguroâs girl! arenât you?â
you snapped your head up and saw someone you recognized as one of megumiâs crew members for the team, and you relaxed, trusting him.
âoh! yeah i am!â
âsweet! i just got hired to be on the crew a couple of weeks ago.â
âthatâs great!â you answered politely, smiling. âhow isââ
âlisten i was wondering if i could get any tickets to the world series from you?â
what.
âumââ your eyes darted around awkwardly. âforâ for the world series?ââ
âyeah! i took this job so i could get some but apparently i need to be working longer than three weeks. dumb.â
you gnawed at the inside of your cheek as your eyes drifted downward to your arm.
he still hadnât let go.
âoh iâm sorry.â you mumbled. âi couldâ i could maybe get you one? one for sure!â
he shook his head. âshit sorry, i need like five.â
âfive?!â you gawked. âi canât get you five iâm really sorry⌠i can only maybe get you one.â
his eyes narrowed. âwhy not? youâre fushiguroâs girl are you not?â
âyes but what does that have to do with me getting you tickets to the world series?â you spoke nervously, trying to put on a brave front as his height literally towered over you.
âwhy donât you ask him for tickets? heâs literally megumi fushiguro iâm sure he can cough up someââ
you scoffed.
âiâm not gonna ask him anything for you just because you want to use me to get tickââ
âso then what the fuck are you with him for?â his grip tightened around your arm as he pulled you a little, and you winced.
âlet go of me!ââ
megumi considered himself a relatively calm person throughout his life.
he knew he had his explosive rude moments here and there, him also accidentally offending people unknowingly with his words, but that behavior only stayed on the field as it pertained to the game at hand or with baseball itself, his life outside of that a treasured tranquil one as he spent his days with you and only you, something he looked forward to every waking moment since the day he met you.
but as he heard your little voice through the yelling of the crowd, instantly recognizing it and picking up on its distressed demeanorâ his body did a full one-eighty as his eyes frantically searched for you through the mass of people.
and once he did spot you? your breathtaking little self being manhandled by some fucking moron who had his hand around your upper arm?
he didnât consider himself a relatively calm person anymore.
megumi quickly snatched his cap off and passed it to a confused yuji and your best friend, sprinting at the speed of light across the field and to the fence of the v.i.p. section before hoisting himself up and climbing, jumping over once he reached the top and landing on the standsâ him running up a few steps before finally reaching you and tearing the guy off.
âget the fuck off.â
he gently pushed you behind him, his chest heaving.
âthe shit are you doing hurting her arm like that for huh?!â megumi stepped forward.
âhey! hey iâm sorry man iâ i didnât know i was hurting herââ
âsure you fucking did she was literally telling you to let go and you were throwing her around likeââ
âmegumi pleaseââ
âare you part of the crew?â
âyâyeah?â
âyouâre gone. youâre fired youâreââ
âwait iâm sorry! i was just trying to get tickets to the world seriesââ
megumiâs eyes blew open, wild and infuriated.
âthatâs why you were grabbing her like that? you were harrassing her for some fucking tickeâ you know whatââ
megumi stepped forward before you could stop him as he reeled his fist back and knocked him straight in the jaw, the guy stumbling back a bit and the crowd gasping before megumi spun around and grabbed your legs, throwing you over his shoulder.
âget the fuck out of my way.â
the small crowd that stuck around for the altercation parted with no questions asked, his long legs striding over across the exit and to the teams now vacant locker roomâ kicking the door open before gently setting you down on your feet.
he ran his hands over your soft hair frantically as he grabbed your cheeks and checked you over, your teary doe eyes breaking him apart.
âhey are you okay? are you fine?â
megumi let go of your face and gently lifted your upper arm, his eyes hardening at the purple forming bruise from that dickwads hand.
âheâs gone heâs goneââ
you lunged and wrapped your arms around his waist tightly as he started to charge back out, pulling him back.
âno! stop itâs okay you already hit him i think he got the message.â you mumbled, letting him go.
megumi turned to you then, his eyes softening over your timid sad frame as you played with your fingers, gaze down.
ây/n.â
âhm?â
he frowned.
âcan you please look at me.â
you listened reluctantly and peered up at him.
he exhaled. âbaby iâ iâm sorry. iâm so fucking sorry for everything that i said to you that night. i meant none of it. nothing. i was just angry at myself and stressed and stupid and i hate that i talked to you like that and took it out on you. you didnât deserve that at all.â
you hurriedly wiped your silent tearsâ nodding, but saying nothing.
he leaned down to look at you at eye level.
âare you okay?â
you nodded again and sniffled.
âtalk baby.â he pleaded with you gently, eyes sad. âtell me, please.â
you cowered a little as you finally broke into tiny sobs, your hands hovering over your face to hide your tears as he placed his big hands on your upper arms, megumi feeling like he just got run over by an entire military tank at the sight of you crying because of him.
âiâiâm sorry i yelled at youââ you hiccuped. âi was so mean and i fâfeel really badââ
âbaby why are you apologizing?â he shook his head. âitâs me itâs all me iâm the one who was mean to youââ
âno butââ you sniffled. âyou were just stressed from the game like you said and thatâs fine i shouldâve been more aware. i didnât mean to upset you with me talkingââ
âoh pretty baby..â he breathed out, agonizingly, megumi literally beating himself up. âremember when i said one time you were too nice for your own good?â
you nodded.
âthis is one of those moments. you should be yelling at me and throwing things at me like your best friend did.â
your eyebrows furrowed as you sniffled. âsheâ she did?â
âshe did.â he nodded. ârightfully so.â
you giggled a little, and he smiled softly.
âiâm sorry i distanced myself the way i didâŚâ you mumbled, a waterfall of tears coming down again. âi just thought that i was a distraction andâ and i wanted you to focus.â
âa distraction?â he murmured. ây/n you are never a distraction.â
âno but at the end of the day i wasâŚâ you sobbed. âyou need to be there for your team you haveââ hic! âyou have responsibilities and i donât want you to put me above that andâ and keep hanging out with me when you have so much to doââ
âsomething you need to understand is that iâm replaceable.â he cut you off, tone firm. âthe minute they find some other dude thatâs way better than me and quicker than me and they draft his ass over to the team? they are going to replace me faster than you will ever think. thatâs just the way jobs are. iâm replaceable no matter how much you wanna think itâs not true.â
he shook his head, his face pained. âbut you are not. youâre not fucking replaceable there is no other you. you are my life now baby. yes my career is a priority, but so are you, and i would rather them replace me than lose you entirely.â
he wiped the tears from your cheeks, your doe eyes wide.
âi appreciate that you care so much and you support me and that you want me to devote all of my time to only thisâ youâre an angel on earth for all of that⌠but as your man iâm telling you that all of my time is devoted to you now, not just baseball.â
you wrapped your arms around his neck and tugged him closer to you, tight, him immediately reciprocating and snaking his arms around your waist.
he could finally breathe.
âdo you understand?â he murmured softly, rubbing his hands over your back soothingly.
you nodded.
âbut you canâtâ wear yourself out like you did okay?â you sniffled. âyou canât let them push you and tire you out⌠and please listen when we say for you to restâŚâ
âi know iâm sorry. iâll listen next time baby i promise.â
âi get you trying to improve for yourself and push your limits⌠butâ but thereâs a difference between wanting to better your play and straight up wearing yourself down.â
you pulled back a little to look at him, wiping your tears and hiccuping. âand i worry man⌠i worry so much because iââ hic! âi love you and i always think about if youâre eating right orâ or getting enough sleepââ
his heart literally melted as he felt the remains of it ooze and spread all over his body and insides, your pure sweet concerns tugging at him and turning him into absolute putty before you.
he tightened his grip around your waist and lifted you, gently rocking your bodies as you sniffled and cried, his eyes screwed shut and feeling every possible emotion a human being could ever feel⌠but feeling love most of all.
love for you. love for who you are.
megumi kissed your wet cheek delicately and let his lips linger there as he spoke.
âiâm in love with youâŚâ he murmured. âi hope you know that.â
your heart fluttered and you nodded, a little smile playing at your face.
âiâm in love with you too gumi.â you hummed, pressing a sweet kiss of your own to his cheek.
he set you back down and cupped your cheeks, slowly leaning in and pressing light tender kisses to your lips, his mouth completely savoring over the taste of yours as he had been deprived of them for a freaking weekâ feeling like his dried up soul had been rejuvenated and made anew.
and you felt the same way⌠because you deepened the kiss, picked up the pace, pulled him closer until his chest was flush against yours and your hot breaths were mixed together in a misty cloud, megumi breathing heavily through his nose as he ran his needy desperate hands over your delicious body.
he trailed wet open mouthed kisses on your cheek, jaw, and all the way down to the side of your exposed neck, his hand supporting the other side as he feverishly licked a slow long stripe of spit up your neck with his rough tongue, your fists gripping the sides of his jersey as he nibbled and bit, his lips finally coming to enclose and suck around a certain spot as your breath hitched at how frenzied and sloppy he was being, drool practically running down your neck as he ravished, bit, and sucked over multiple areas.
you shoved your hands down his pants suddenly, and he choked in surprise as his hips thrusted forward, your fingers pumping and palming his hardened cock slowly as his breath shuddered against your neck.
âbaby...â he murmured.
âhm?â
âhow would you feel if i turned on the shower and fucked my cock in your pretty little cunt for a bit in there huh?âŚâ
a needy whimper slipped past your lips against his ear, and he grew weak.
âis that okayââ
âmore than okayââ
you squealed as he wasted no time in picking you up again and walking over to the showers, the both of you clumsily tearing off your clothes as megumi fumbled with the shower switch until luke warm water spritzed from aboveâ entrapping the both of you in a humid trance as megumi squeezed your bare thighs and ushered you to jump, you doing so immediately and wrapping your legs around his waist.
he stepped in and literally slammed the shower door shut, the two of you giggling a little as the soothing water washed over your panting bodies, the sight of his handsome bright face making your cheeks flush and bury your face in his neck in response.
he chuckled softly, gently setting your back against the wet tile wall before kissing you again and again, his mouth messy against your puffy lips as he tried to drink up all that you gave him, the tip of his cock slipping past your folds and brushing against your swollen clitâ each time making you squeak and jump.
you didnât care about anything, your mind reeling and just wanting megumiâs dick inside of you as soon as possible, knowing that youâd never really had sex before and literally not giving a single shit because it was himâ someone you trusted the most out of anyone in your life, and someone you wanted to give your all to no matter the circumstance.
he lined his fat tip then against your drooling hole.
âwait! wait the doorââ you gripped his shoulders for support. âthe door did you lock it?â
ânope.â
megumi pushed his cock in slowly and gently, your choked gasps and moans echoing inside the shower as his head fell to rest in the crook of your hickey covered neck, him groaning in ecstasy as your gummy warm pussy strangled his dick to the tightest degree, already previously so wet and gushy that it thankfully barely hurt you at all as he bottomed out.
âfuuuckkâ youâre warm.â he murmured, gripping your hips like a vice and softly caressing his thumb against your slippery skin to soothe youâ hoping (but not really), youâd maybe release the clutch your pussy had on his dick to stop him from already shooting his cum all over your insides like a loser.
he slowly drew his hips back and fucked into you again, you jolting at the force as you fumbled to keep your grip steady on his shoulders, his cock fucking thick and massive as his little curve poked deliciously at your cervix, him gradually increasing his pace as you shuddered over the quick pat pat patâs echoing through the walls.
âgâgumiii..â you whined.
âwhat baby?â he mumbled breathlessly, his eyes glued to where his dick connected with your hole as it slipped in and out lewdly, your pussy literally squelching and screaming for him with your bouncing tits in his face that made him clench his jaw in self restraintâ trying his hardest not to fucking ram into you like nothing and take you.
âyâyouâre biigg!â you hiccuped, your little gasps of breath enticing droplets of cum to leak out of his tip and ooze out of your little wet folds, megumi moaning at your words.
âyeah?â pat pat patâ âsâtoo much for you baby?â
he picked up the pace, on purpose as he meanly bounced you on his cock and shot his hips up against your pussy, his big heavy balls slapping against your ass and making your eyes fucking cross at the feeling.
âtell me you love me.â he panted. ânow.â
âiââ hic! âi love youââ
megumi grabbed your cheeks with his fingers and mushed them together, grinning deviously at the way your pouty lips pushed out cutely.
âhow much.â
âsâso- ah!â so much gumiââ
âmoreâ shit!â he choked, a particular squeeze from your abused cunt almost making him finish. âmâ more than anything?â
slap slap slapâ
âyâyes!ââ you could barely even speak due to the erotic hold he had on your face. âi love you i love you i loveââ
you squealed as he let go of your face, gave into his desires and rammed into you, both hands on your bruised hips as he gave your pussy no room to breathe with how fast he was shoving his fat cock inside of you, pounding and pummeling into your guts as your eyes rolled to the back of your head as you felt your release build up in your tummy.
âwhy were you asking me about the door earlier huh?â he panted. âyou donât want anyone to see how much of aâ thrust! âslut you are? your legs spread for me like this and your pretty pussy creaming on my dick?â
you whined and moaned so fucking loudly, it ringing through megumiâs ears like a wicked symphony.
he pinched your nipple when you didnât respond.
âanswer me.â
thrust thrust thrustâ
ânâno i didnât!â
âno?â
he gripped your neck and sloppily ran his mouth over yours, feeling his cum on the brink of shooting out.
âmâgonna cum inside.â
âinâ mmphf!â inside?â
âyou donât want it?â he let go of your neck. âcause i wonât give it to you if you donât want itââ
âi do i do!â you scrambled and cupped his cheeks, bringing his lips back in and kissing him messily.
âgive it to me gumi please!ââ hic! âeeekkk!â
hot sticky cum pumped out of his tip and into your gushy walls, your high making your toes curl as you creamed around his heavy cock feverishly, megumiâs entire body fucking shivering at the way your pussy felt like it was entirely made and molded for him.
he softly pumped himself inside and out of you, his mouth hung open in a daze as he watched his white cum slide out of your pretty hole and over his still connected dick, gently easing out after a minute and carefully setting you back downâ not completely though, as he knew youâd be sore as he leaned most if not all of your body weight against him.
you held each other in a tight embrace then, your heavy breaths trying to find its normal rhythm as the warm water continued to cascade down your bodies, comfortingly.
âwhy donât we have sex more often...â you mumbled.
he laughed softly, pecking the side of your head. âi was waiting for you to tell me baby. i didnât want to pressure you.â
âi was waiting for you to tell me.â you emphasized. âi didnât want to jump on you and just violate youââ
megumiâs chest vibrated as he laughed again, a cute boyish one that made you bite your lip.
âviolate me?â he murmured, an amused smile on his face. âiâd want you to.â
âyeah?â you tilted your head, and his cheeks grew hot.
âyeah.â
finally you and megumi were in sync again, going back into each otherâs routines as if the week long hiccup never happened, the both of you officially unraveling the aching knots in your chests that you hauled for seven tormenting days straightâ together and attached to the hip once again as he started picking you up for your seven am classes every morning like before, you going to his practices straight after, and spending your hours sleeping in his dark cozy room this time around, snoring your little life away so megumi could recover.
and eventually, the world series arrived.
âmy camera! my camera! my digital one did i bring it?!â
you flipped your purse upside down and dumped all of your things on the floorâ your lip combo, compact mirror, snacks, random receipts, and small perfume bottle rolling around on the ground until your digital camera was finally in view.
your best friend cackled as she crouched down and helped you pick up your things. âyou were taking pictures up megumiâs nose on the two hour drive over here yes you brought itââ
âi know i forgot iâm so nervous what if they lose what if someone fumbles what ifââ
you both stood as you rambled on and she placed both of her hands on your shoulders, shaking you. âcalm down! theyâll be fine! win or lose they still made it to the world series!â
the crowd roared much like the past two games, except much heavier, louder, more drilling as the music drummed through your body, the air windy but refreshing, and high pitched whistles echoing from around the stadium as everyone anticipated for the biggest game of the season.
you had lost count how many different news stations were here broadcasting the game, how many reporters you saw scrambling across the field trying to interview certain playersâ you too busy taking pictures of every single little thing and the both of you reapplying your lip liners over a million fucking timesâ even flagging down a crew member so you could take a picture with just your best friend, your backs to the camera showcasing the last names of your boyfriendâs on your jerseyâs.
and when the game officially commenced and the players all went out on the fieldâ megumi and his team did what they always do best, taking control of the scoreboard and earning runs like chump change as they worked professionally to take the trophy home, you constantly snapping pictures of megumi that your digital camera ran out of fucking storage before you even got the shot that you wanted.
eventually after a while of playing, it was megumiâs turn to hit.
âfuck! record for me please record! my camera ran out of storage oh my god use my phone please i love youââ
your best friend laughed as she took your phone from you and did what you asked, your hands on the railing and leaning over it as you anxiously watched him walk up to home plate and take position.
but instead of doing his usual faux swings and repositioned footing, megumi stepped to the side and turned his bat downward, you unable to tell what he was doing as his frame was blocking, his arm moving in various directions before he stepped back again on the home plate and repositioned himself.
your eyes trailed to the ground.
megumi had carved your initials in the dirt.
your girl friend gasped and cooed. ây/nnn!â
as megumi now did his faux swings, your bottom lip only wobbled as your eyes stayed trained to the carvings in the dirt, your heart skipping a thousand beats per minute as the thought of megumi thinking about you out there during one of the most important nights of his life, made you question repeatedly how you ever landed a man like him when all you do is talk and cry.
hit!
your eyes snapped up and you quickly wiped the corners of your eyes, megumi already running across the first two bases as the crowd roared.
âbring it home fushiguro!â
several of his teammates were cheering him on from the dugout, megumi running four runs with just one fucking hit?â
a grand slam.
and suddenly you were taken back to the day you noticed megumi for the first time, just like now with your doe eyes wide and cheeks pink, recognizing the only piece of baseball terminology you knew besides a home run.
except then he was just a stranger you were hopelessly in love with that knew how to play ball like no other.
now though, heâs a man you couldnât ever imagine your life without. and you didnât want to.
so as the game reached nine innings, megumiâs team running on the field in a bundle of absolute tears and yells and hollers that they won the world fucking series, all clustering together as they hoisted several players up on their shoulders, including megumiâ
you and your best friend instantly booked it down there in a fit of tears.
you had no time to get your personal belongings together as you sprinted across the field like your life fucking depended on it towards megumi�� him being put down by his teammates and him frantically looking around after until he spotted you, the brightest smile spreading across his face as he chucked his cap to the side and opened his arms out wide for you.
you jumped in and he spun you around, holding you tight as the screaming crowd surrounding you drowned itself out as you cried into megumiâs neck.
he pulled back, panting.
âdid you see how i did a grand slam?â
you nodded rapidly.
âi did it because i knew its the only thing you would recognize!â he yelled over the noise. âso you would feel included when we won!â
oh my god.
he still remembered when you told him that?
âguummiii! how did you even calculate that?!â you cried harder, and he laughed as he spread tiny kisses all over your teary face, his eyes glimmering with absolute unadulterated happiness and bliss, the reality of having the two things he wanted most in life settling into his mind.
megumi didnât really have a stance on religionâ whether the factor is real or not something he didnât really care about nor mind as he simply just chose to live.
but as he held you on the field, you crying for him and embracing him the way that you were, kissing him the way that you were, megumi only wanted to be covered in your favor. megumi only wanted to devote his entire life to you.
megumi only wanted to believe in you.
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘

Thinking abt the random card au again. Why must it go so crazy hard I miss it sm
#rat rambles#random card au#no matter how far I drift from my bndori and sekai peak days the random card au keeps hitting me like a truck every now and then#it just scratches an itch that I havent been able to satisfy since my cr days years and years ago#I wouldnt say the random card au has super similar worldbuilding to my old cr stuff as that was much more large scale#but it still has a similar appeal to me I think#I think its the building entirely new worldbuilding based off of designs and general vague starting concepts and bringing them all together#that gets me invested as it feels so satisfying slotting it all together and then actually getting to play out the story in this new web#I loveeeee jumbled webs of worldbuilding and characters that all tie together in a way that makes it almost impossible to completely#seperate one cast of characters from another#I love the feeling of a world with a bunch of intertwining plots like that even if it makes it near impossible to format a normal story#like my cr stuff was just so much man I still miss it sometimes even if I hate cr itself#Ive become a much better story creator too now so I know I could make what I had so much better nowadays and I already like my old stuff#it just makes me all the more sad that I went so crazy hard on worldbuilding for a franchise that sucks ass </3#it may have been two of the worst years of my life but Ill also never reach that worldbuilding high again I think#oh also it made me actually start the slow slow process of getting more ambitious with my art and doing more digital stuff#rly thats the biggest reason the random card au pains me so since I wanna post stuff for it but man do I not wanna draw anyone from it#first of all human characters so already eh but also Id have to adapt the cards theyre based on into a design I can actually draw#so as much as I wanna make a billion random card au animatics I cant even bring myself to draw them normally#you see olivia and jackie are easier to draw because I just made shit up for their designs and as such made their designs very simple#but I cant just make shit up for bndori and sekai characters they actually have designs and hair that Id have to adapt to my style it sucks#I just wanna draw doggy arisa is that so much to ask for (yes yes it is I dont wanna figure out her hood)#also rip mygo yall will probably never get in but who knows maybe one day Ill have my second bndori era and then y'all will get in#its rly just the fact that they likely wont have enough cards to properly add them for another few years#especially if that other band also gets in if that happens neither are getting enough cards until the servers shut down lol#like I Could just pick and choose but thats boring#kinda ruins the point of the au y'know?#like tbf Ive cheated in the past by reroling two and limiting my options with several sekai characters#but thats just because at the time most sekai characters had almost no usable cards for this au and the two I rerolled were also unusable#like Im sorry but I couldnt just add normal ass hagumi and masking it wasn't happening

better than the devil
<sylus x fem!reader>
where you find out if Sylus really has horns, and why he avoids letting you touch them
genre/warnings: smut, pwp, unprotected sex, size kink (i mean bro is PACKING), breeding kink, sylusâs horns are â¨sensitiveâ¨, dirty talk, sexual tension, missionary, a fuck ton of horn play, horny horns, cumming untouched, orgams galore!, so much cumâĄ
w/c: 2.9K
a/n: gotta thank the loml @bro-atz for helping me with this a little ehehehe >:) I hope this destroyed yall as much as this destroyed me to write it!!đĽš
They say he takes the form of some dragon-like creatureâwith large black horns and wings.Â
The first time you witnessed it with your own two eyes was when he choked out a serpent wanderer ten times his size before it got to you. You were semi-conscious at that point of time, the fatigue threatening to take over, but you had caught a glimpse of his silhouetteâtwo thick appendages that curled proudly past his dirty silver hair, and large wings that hung off his backâbefore you blacked out.Â
âStaring at me isnât going to get any of your curiosities satisfiedâ, Sylus snaps you out of your thoughts. Your gaze flickers to his face, but Sylus has his eyes on his phone.Â
Then his gaze shifts to you.Â
âWhat are you thinking about, sweetie?â
Of course, you couldnât just tell him outright that you wanted to see him magically grow his horns out of his head. You doubt even Luke and Kieran have seen it themselves.Â
âYour horns.â
Sylus lowers his phone onto his lap, then he cocks an eyebrow, which turns to a furrow in seconds.Â
âWhat gave you the idea that I grew horns?â He asks, his tone laced with mock and caution. His attention is fully on you now.Â
Yeah, maybe that was not a good question to ask. Then again, being around someone as direct as Sylus had made you pick up his mannerisms quite a fair bit.Â
âNothing reallyâ, you brush off, attempting to derail the conversation before something goes wrong. âIâm just curious.â
âTalkâ, Sylus demands, albeit in a soft tone. âIâm listening.âÂ
His crimson eyes burn a hole into your head, and you now only realise the way he has you cornered on his couch, his large frame looming over yours.Â
You sigh, realising heâs not about to let it go anytime soon.Â
âA few weeks ago, during one of the battles we had, where I almost died-â
âGet to the point, sweetieâ, Sylus cuts, seeing through your guise.Â
You pout. âRight. Before I blacked out, I saw you appear right in front of me, with horns.â
Sylus raises his eyebrows, seemingly in amusement. âYou sure you werenât hallucinating?â
He earns a smack on his chest. Youâre ready to let him disprove you further or whatever, but your body jolts when you feel Sylus snake his arms around your waist before he carries you effortlessly off the corner of the couch and onto his lap.Â
You watch his eyes grow soft when he locks his gaze with yours. His expression is unreadable.
Your eyes widen in amazement when the thick pair of horns curl past his locks, the black a stark contrast with his white hair. He looks like heâs wearing bows in a funny, demonic type of way. Not that he has to know that.Â
You continue to stare at his horns, visually taking in the rough yet smooth texture and patterns that run downwards as the horns grow thicker towards the base.Â
âWhat are you really?â You wonder aloud, your fingers reaching out to feel the interesting texture of his horns, only for him to pull away quickly.
âItâs not the right time for you to knowâ, he replies curtly. You notice the glint of concern in his eyes, shrouded under the indifferent expression he wears.Â
So you decide to leave it for now, at least.Â
Nonetheless, it doesnât stop you from annoying the ever-loving shit out of Sylus about his horns once you found out about it.
He would stare at you with his eyebrows furrowed, muttering that he should have never told you about his horns, only for you to bat your eyelashes at him, much to his annoyance.Â
âAt least let me touch them if youâre not gonna tell me more about themâ, you would whine. With a frown, he would push your forehead with a finger, giving you his standard answer.
"No."
âThen could you at least tell me why you wonât let me touch your horns?â
He would rest his thumb and index finger on his chin, feigning a thinking stance before his expression drops deadpan and then the curt answer leaves his lips.
âNo.â
Youâre putting this right next to when you were fighting for your life to get that fucking brooch months ago.Â
While the thought continues to eat into your curiosity, you mostly let Sylus off the hook after a while. For some reason, youâve been noticing that Sylus has been walking around his mansion with his horns freely out. Maybe because heâs shown you his full horns once thatâs why?
Or heâs just straight-up taunting you.Â
You feign nonchalance, only stealing glances at the thick appendage that stood out against his pale locks from time to time, but never really bringing it up to him, for now at least.
You hear the raindrops patter against the large windows of Sylus's room one afternoon. At least the heavy clouds are hiding the sun on top of the dark curtains drawn, and it makes Sylus's rest a little more comfortable.Â
He's sound asleep beside you on his bed, but you're seated up on your phone, the sound of the rain also slowly luring you to grow sleepy. You stretch a little, careful not to wake the male beside you. Sylus grunts softly, and you feel his hair tickle your thighs.
Through your peripherals, something catches your attention. The black on white is undoubtedly hard to miss.
Now that Sylus seems dead asleep, you're considering taking a chance to take a closer look at his horns, and maybe even touch them.Â
Carefully, you shift your weight closer to Sylus, monitoring his expressions and movements. When the coast is clear, you lean closer, staring at his horns with much amazement. It's a lot different now that you're this up close to admire them.Â
His horns aren't simply a simple shade of jet blackâat different angles, you notice how the scales of his horns shimmer like an oil spill under the soft light. Close up, the base of his horns are thick, and as it extends, it curls, almost fully wrapping around his head.Â
âSo prettyâ, you mutter to yourself. Your fingers are reached out as if by instinct, barely inches away from touching his pretty crown.Â
You pause, weighing the risks of attempting to touch his horns. How fucked would you be if you actually did?Â
Your eyes scan Sylusâs calm sleeping face. He doesn't seem to have even noticed his horns have grown out.Â
âItâs just a little touch, he won't feel it anywaysâ, you convince yourself softly, your resolve firming as your curiosity begins to bubble over your rationale.
You let your fingers brush his horn, feeling the cold and scaly texture beneath your fingertips. Your eyes are sparkling in amazement even more, now that your curiosity has been satisfied. You press your fingertips onto the appendage, enjoying how nice and cool it feels to the touch.
Just then, you hear Sylus groan slightly. Your hand immediately retracts before you fully freeze, watching the way he presses his head against your leg, his eyebrows slightly scrunched before it returns back to relaxed.Â
Close call.Â
You obviously donât learn your lesson, because your fingers are on his horns almost immediately once more. You grow more curious about the feeling of running your palm across his horns this round.Â
So you do.
Your hand starts from the thick base, and you stroke it, following the horn's curl, enjoying the way the texture of the scales run smooth under your palm.
And then Sylus makes a sound beneath you. You squint in curiosity, wondering if you heard it right.
So you run your hand from his tip to the base this time.Â
And this time, Sylus lets out another moan. You definitely did not hear wrong.Â
Your cheeks are slowly flushing when you realise what you're doing to him. But for some reason, it makes you want to do it more.
So this is why he doesn't want you touching his horns?Â
With a cheeky smile, you run your fingers along his horns in various ways and places, eliciting more pretty and erotic reactions from Sylus.Â
You giggle to yourself, trying to ignore how he's making you aroused with all the noises he's making with every stroke you give his horns.Â
You want to go for the next round, wondering how far you can take this.
Obviously not very far, because the next time you do, Sylusâs hand catches your wrist before you're about to touch his horns again.
He stares at you with half-lidded eyes, pink dusted on his cheeks and his breathing shallow.
âAre you having fun, kitten?â He asks with a frown.
Fuck.
You feign a smile, trying to wave your hand from his grip, of course, your attempts futile.Â
Sylusâs other arm curls around your thighs, locking you from leaving the bed while Sylus lets his sleep leave his body from the rude interruption.Â
âDenying me of satisfying my curiosity only makes it worseâ, you shrug. Well, if only Sylus had just let you have a little touchâŚ
The corner of Sylusâs lips pull up to a half smirk.Â
âRightâ, Sylus replies, a hint of annoyance and something else laced in his tone before he shifts above you in one swift motion, trapping you underneath him on his bed.Â
âThen, I'm sure you don't have to be reminded that actions have consequences?â
You swallow hard.Â
His hand that grabbed yours is placed on his chest, and he forces you to trail down his body, feeling his thick chest, then his abs under your touch, all the way down until he stops you right on his thick erection.
âYou should take responsibility, don't you think?â Sylus asks with a raised eyebrow.Â
You know it's pointless even attempt to escape when heâs devouring your lips like he hasn't eaten in days. It's so intoxicating. You would never admit your greed, but Sylus knows you well enough to feed you so good. You want to pull him so impossibly close.
In between breathless kisses, your warm hands trail from his biceps to his shoulders, to his neck, and right to his hair.
You test watersâletting your fingers rake through his hair, grazing the base of his horns. You get his green light when he doesn't swat you off, on the contrary, it makes Sylus grow more desperate in the kiss.
You confidently stroke his horn, from base to tip once more, and the moans that leave Sylusâs lips sound like fucking heaven.Â
His crimson eyes finally meet yours, and he almost looks like he's in pain.Â
âIf you keep doing thatânghââ Sylus trails off with another strained moan when the sensation of you stroking his horn buzzes right to his cock that he has shut his eyes to hold back.Â
âThis?â you tease, sliding your palm down to his base once more, rubbing the scaly appendage, watching him failing at trying to keep his composure.Â
âFuckâ, he hisses, diving into your lips once more, eating you up.Â
He pulls away briefly, pressing his lips just below your ear.
âYouâre gonna be taking responsibility, kitten.â
He presses himself close onto you, so close that you feel his cock just pulsing against your pelvis, only separated by his black sweats. Sylus takes your chin in his fingers and steals your breath away once more, uncontrollably grunting with every stroke your hands play with his horns. You feel his cock twitch, then pulse before the feeling of warmth spreads across your skin, accompanied by a long, drawn out moan in your mouth.
It makes you dizzy with bliss, realising what you've done to him.Â
Sylus pulls away once more, catching his breath, his eyes reflecting something more feral when you met his.Â
But all you do is flash a cheeky smile at him, letting your fingers caress his cheek.Â
His fingers tug at the waistband of your shorts and he yanks them off, almost growing feral for the second time when his eyes meet the sight of the way your pussy is glistening so much that a wet and thin string of arousal sticks itself in between your pussy and your soaked panties.Â
Well, Sylus is holding the short end of the stick anyway, because when he tugs his sweats down, your heartbeat accelerates as your eyes land on his cockâthick, red and completely covered in white and thick cum, some staining his underwear, twitching slightly with dribbles of cum seeping past his cockhead when the fabric brushes past his balls.Â
He looks so fucking delicious when he's messy like that. Shit.
âYou seem to be enjoying yourself, staring at me like thatâ, he teases. He doesn't even look embarrassed.
âMaybe I should play with your horns more oftenâ, you reply with a smile. Sylus narrows his eyes at you, his expression mixed with annoyance and affection. His fingers press against your soaking clit, enjoying the way the smile on your face gets wiped, replaced with a contorted expression of pleasure when he rubs it in slow circles.Â
âIâm strongly against that idea, sweetieâ, Sylus responds, leaning in to take in the expression of your mind slowly growing dumb and blank just from his slender fingers rubbing you out. âItâll give you a little too much leverage over me.â
Through the hazy and building pleasure, you still manage to reply, âthat's the whole point.â
Sylus only smiles at your reply, his fingers leaving your clit. You're about to protest, that is, until he grabs you by your hips, dragging you closer to him, then pressing your knees to your chest, before his wet cock slowly enters you from below. He watches your face contort in pleasureâyour eyes rolling back and your eyebrows furrowedâwhile soaking in the fucking delicious feeling of your cunt warm and wrapped around his cock.Â
âS-so goodâ, you whimper, his fullness knocking out any ounce of breath and sense out of you at a dangerous pace the his cock inches even deeper into you.
âSuch a nice and warm pussy holeâ, Sylus grits, pushing himself even deeper, his control slipping when he's buried himself all the way in. âFuck, you're so good for me, kitten.â
You're clawing his pillows when Sylus starts fucking you, and you're looking at Sylus with such a glazed out expressionâand you know it drives him fucking crazy. His palm rests on the bulge that his cock is pushing every time he enters you, and it makes your thighs shake. Your moans grow in pitch and tone on top of the sounds of lewd wet skin slapping.Â
He lets you wrap your legs around his waist in return for letting him scatter love bites across your neck.
So you decide that itâs the perfect time to aim for his sensitive spots once more.
Your fingers tug against his scalp, then alternating to stroking his horns once more, throwing Sylus into another round of pleasured daze.Â
You feel his cock fill you up even more, and it makes you greedy to how far you can push it.
âI really should make you regret thisâ, Sylus mutters, failing to suppress another groan when your fingers scratch against the base.Â
His thrusts become more like ruts, his cockhead hitting your g-spot over and over as payback. Sylus sprouts a satisfied smirk as he watches you completely come undone on his cock. You throw your head back while stars flicker in and out of your vision. The pleasure is growing so fucking good that you're choking on your moans too.Â
âRight there! Fuck, that feels so fucking good, Sylusâ, you sob through wet lashes and heavy pants.Â
Sylus is mesmerised by your pretty expressions and the pretty sounds you always make for him when he's breaking you apart.Â
Maybe you finding out about his sensitive horns is his punishment for indulging in these sick pleasures. Nonetheless, he still wouldn't have any other way.
Your hands find his horns once more, and he falters for a split second. But he doesn't shake you off since he's much too focused on trying to force an orgasm out of you.
Your pussy squeezes him before it starts uncontrollably fluttering against his cock. Ah, his goal is slowly being fulfilled.
As your orgasm dangles above you, you react with periodical squeezes on his cock and his horns, which definitely draws a much larger reaction from Sylus.Â
âSo closeâ, you whine, your orgasm slowly filling the crevices of your brain, plunging you deep into pleasure. Your cunt clenches on his cock, and you unintentionally yank his horns.
Sylus fucking growls, pressing himself so fucking deep into you, his cum fucking spurting into youâso much that some is leaking out from your plugged pussy hole and onto the bed.Â
He pulls his cock out momentarily, letting his cum ooze from his cockhead, his eyes darting to the loads seeping out of your hole, before he slides his cock into you once more. You gasp at the fullness, another squeeze to his horns, which only stimulates Sylus once more, and his cock fills you up with another warm and sticky load.Â
Heâs panting, but he musters his energy to meet your eyes.Â
âSweetieâ, he calls out to you amidst his dick attempting to take over his brain. âIf you don't get your hands off, your pussy won't be able to hold anymore, I guarantee.â
He's met with a fucked-out and sly grin from his partner.Â
âAnd I thought you enjoyed challenges.â
Sylus scoffs at your comment, realising that he really has to teach his kitten a lesson to not touch things that aren't hers.

hii i have a little request for ekko like omg i love him so bad
so imagine winter times come around and you an ekko are in your shared room (the firelights bases ofc)
and he sees you shivering under your cover so he comes over and just cuddles all up under you
thennn a few words and giggles are shared and thingss get a little heated between yall and ykyk đ¤
I hope you wanted smut. Thatâs what I made.
Arcane Imagines- Ekko
Still Cold
â ď¸WARNINGđ: SMUTTTT
[arcane] [main page]
Prompt: itâs cold, you need to be warmed up. (Established relationship)
Contains: hand job, oral m! Receiving. Afab. Whimpering, whiny sub Ekko:(
You shiver, wearing a few layers of clothes along with tons of blankets. Your nose practically freezing off since you feel claustrophobic if you put your face under the covers. You hear the door open to you and your boyfriendâs shared room. Steps coming towards you. âYou cold or something?â He asks, You just scoff in response like it wasn't obvious.
He snickers, throwing the blankets off of you causing you to whine. âOh shush, câmere you big baby.â He climbs into bed, pulling your body on top of his.
âYouâre warm.â You mumble, clinging onto him. âIâm so cold.â You complain, he puts the covers back over the both of you.Â
âI know a way to make us even warmer.â He wiggles his eyebrows and you shove his face away from your neck before he got the chance to pounce on it with his lips. He got hard before he even got into the bed. âIâm too cold to think about that.â You huff, adjusting yourself on him so you were more comfortable.Â
It didnât help Ekkoâs situation though. He needed you badly and you put yourself right over his crotch. He tensed up but nonetheless stayed quiet, rubbing your back to get you warmer. âMy body aches from how cold it is.â You wiggle over top of him. Ekko lets out a low, almost inaudible grunt. âStop moving so much.â He grabs your hips to keep you in place. âSorry, sorry.âÂ
A few moments go by and you begin to understand why he told you to stop moving. You feel something poking against your core. Your lips lined into a smirk, deciding to mess with him. âEkko, massage me again.â You look at him with a pout. His eyes met yours, he seemed extremely nervous. He never wanted to push anything on you, so when you said you were too cold to think about it he stopped and he tried to take the thought out of his brain.Â
âUm, alright.â His hands move on your back again, you let out a soft moan, humming into his chest. The vibration only worsening his perverted thoughts. Your digits find his hips, going up and down his body in slow motions. He wanted to stop and shove you off of him.Â
You were so soft, such a comforting body he just wanted to explore every part of you. Keep you warm and safe. His member twitches and you chuckle. His face flushes.Â
âHe sure has a lot to say.â You tease him, not looking at him as your hand goes underneath you, trailing all the way down to the place he needed you most. He lets out a gasp.Â
Your smaller hand palms him through his sweatpants. âPretty girl, please.â He whimpers, he pulls his arms up to his head, watching your focused expression. âYou wanted to keep me warm, right?â A smug smile tugging upwards, âmy hands are pretty cold.â You go to his ear, kissing it softly as the hand that was once palming him went to the waistline of his pants. âGonna treat you so well.â You lay your head back down on his chest, moving your body slightly off of him so you could get a better view of your actions.Â
Ekko watches as his girlfriend extracts his dick from his clothing agonizingly slow. Spitting on your hand before smearing it on his tip, mixed with his precum. âSo cute.â You compliment.Â
âCute?â He huffs, your thumb rubs it over the sensitive mushroom top. âMhm.âÂ
He bucks his hips up, desperate for you to touch him more. You take your hand away to shove his hips back down. âBe patient.â You sit up with the blankets over your shoulders. You spread his legs apart enough so you could sit in between them. You yank his pants off half-way, keeping them at his thighs.Â
His orbs grow darker by the sight of you on your knees before him. Even though you're clothed up you are the only one to affect him this way. Â
âWhat do you want?â You ask, your fingers dancing around his skin. âTake your shirt off. Please.â He mewls in a soft tone. âThen Iâll be cold.â Your bottom lip puckers out as you give him puppy-dog eyes. âI need to see them, theyâre so beautiful.â He begs, his hand going down to his dick, using your spit to pump up and down. âIf thatâs what my boyfriend wants. I guess I can make some sacrifices.â You take off your sweater along with the tank top that was underneath. Flaunting your breasts.Â
âStop touching yourself.â You prod aside his wrist replacing it back with your palm once again. Stroking his cock while leaning over to pronounce your boobs out. âI was supposed to b-e warming- shit- warming you up.â He stammers, grabbing at your left tit, massaging it gently. âThis is warming me up.â You giggle, laying a kiss on the cockhead. He squeezes his eyes shut as your tongue kitten licks him.Â
Your hand is still kneading at the base. âI- ohmygooodd.â He groans. âUse your mouth.â He runs a hand on top of your hair, grasping at it. âNot very good manners.â You glance up at him. He holds a breath. âPlease use your mouth pretty girl. Please.â He whines like a dog, rutting his hips up only to be knocked back down. âPatience, Ekko.â Your voice was soft but stern.
Youâve never acted like this before, it was new to him. He was normally in control. âFuck, okay, okay.â He throws his arm over his eyes. You snigger, sticking your tongue out. You smack his cock on it repeatedly until popping it between your lips. Hollowing out your cheeks, sucking on his tip.Â
You lower your head until your nose hits his pelvic region. His happy trail tickles you ever so slightly. You go back up then continue at a leisurely state. Frustrating him ridiculously. â[Name] please stop messing with me. I need more.â He tugs at your hair. âMmmmhmmm?â Your noises pleasuring him. âIâm going to fuck your throat if you donât do something.â He tells you through gritted teeth.Â
The thought of him facefucking you aroused you. You felt the wetness in between your thighs even through all your clothes. You move your heel underneath your cunt. Pressing your butt down to feel the friction as you bob your head up and down on your boyfriend's thick cock.Â
Now being more mindful of his needs. The slurping sounds with a mix of occasional gags. You hold onto the top of his thighs as you get faster. Ekkoâs toes curling from your skills. He felt like he was about to cum at any moment. His abs tightening, flexing just for you.Â
â[Name], pretty girl. I- oh fuckfuckfuck⌠Iâm close.â Once again his pelvis went up. You werenât expecting it causing your upper torso to contract as you gag. You lift up, his dick falling against his stomach. The saliva and pre-cum dribbling down your chin. âIâm sorry, Iâm so sorry. Iâll be better. I promise.â He implores, his hands wandering on your chest down to your stomach.Â
âFuck my throat.â You vocalise, sounding raspy. âA-are you sure? You donât have to do it because I mentioned it.â He double checks and you smile, pulling forward by his shirt, kissing him. Your spit and his own liquid smudges across his mouth.Â
You drop him back down on the pillows. He plants his feet down on the bed, lifting himself up a tiny bit and you put your mouth back on his dick. âYou ready?â He bites his lip, your eyes look up at him. Your cheeks rise, making you seem like youâre squinting to show that youâre smiling. You give him a thumbs up. Both of his hands go to your head.Â
He thrusts up into your muzzle, starting off tender you wink at him then his hips begin to accelerate. You hold onto his legs for support. His hands pushing you down as far as you can take him.Â
âIâm going to cum! Fu-uuuuck!â He keeps the quick pace. Your pussy spasms at his moans and whimpers he made. âI love you so much, pretty girl. So so so much.â He breathes heavily. âGonna let me spill into your throat? Swallow it like a good, beautiful girl that you are?â He questions you and you hum out. Slightly nodding your head. âFuck, thatâs my girl.âÂ
His cock convulses, his tip bruising your uvula. âOhhh, love you, love you , loveâŚâ His voice gets cut off as he cums, his mouth hanging open with no noise coming out. His seed spurting down your throat as your nose pressed against his skin. He restrains you in place until his balls are completely empty. He roughly drops down and you swallow everything before coughing to catch your breath.Â
His dick lays limp and his face looks fucked out. âHope you know Iâm not done with you.â You smirk, grabbing his soft cock and he whines, attempting to push you away. âToo sensitive, pretty girl.â He complains. âMmm Iâm still cold though.âÂ
He tiredly rubs his face realizing how long of a night he was about to have.

before we shatter â jjk [two]
genre : established relationship, idol!jungkook
word count : 5.1k
summary : dating an idol is fun, they said. having a family with one is fun, they said. Until you're falling face forward because of your reality. A reality where Jungkook dreams of a future and a reality where your own future is collapsed.
chapter warnings : ANGST, eventual fluff, mentions death of a loved one, mentions of Alzheimer's disease, strong language, mature, cheating (not by the main characters), jungkook will piss you off but he's deserving of love too :((, slight making out but nothing else. i think that's it, please mention if i missed anything.
a/n : OH MY GOD IT TOOK ME FOREVER !!!! here it is my pookies <333 i hope this will heal the past trauma that part one caused yall omfg. i love you so much and send an ask if you want to. You're so so cherished.
Jungkookâs fingers press on the digital lock before it beeps, indicating the door has been unlocked.Â
âBabe, Iâm homeâÂ
He expects his girlfriend, Nicole to say anything in response but, on the contrary, all he gets is pure silence. Not a single person breathing the same air as him inside the house. His eyebrows crease in utter confusion and he wonders if he she went outside in order to run any errands.
Nicole is a fashion designer who he met when she was appointed to design his concert outfits for the groupâs previous world tour. At first, there were some stolen glances, eye contacts, and innocent touches but when he found himself looking for her in the room full of people, it had to be more than that.Â
At the risk of sounding like a nervous wreck with zero experience with women, Jungkook had walked back and forth approximately 46 times before he took up the hatchet to ask her on a date, to which sheâd smirked and whispered a yes in response.
Listen, Jungkook is a confident man. Add a confident yet adorably shy woman beside him and you have got yourself the perfect mix of charisma and charm. Not to say that he was not totally enthralled by her. He genuinely wanted to get to know her better and thatâs not only because she was confident, of course.Â
Ordinarily, heâd find her on the couch going through her designs or making herself the 50th cup of coffee. It all really depends, but tonight the eerie silence surrounding him makes his stomach hurt. A nagging feeling arises in his chest and he hopes everything is okay.Â
He releases a breath and walks further in towards the bedroom. Who knows, she got tired of working all day and went in there to take a nap.Â
Much to his disappointment, just as his hands grip the doorknob, a moan comes from the other side of the wall and he freezes.Â
âYouâre so good to mommy, arenât you?âÂ
He canât mistake the voice even if he tries to. He hears it all day, every night by his side.Â
Nicole has complemented him in every spectrum of their relationship. Sheâd been equally successful, equally fun and adventurous, and matched every desire and aspirations of his.
Tow bodies, one soul if you will.
Turns out, she lagged behind on the spectrum of honesty.Â
Knowing he canât be just standing there and not find out who sheâs been fucking behind his back, he twists the knob and pushes the door open. The moan which earlier caused his heart to momentarily stop now turning into a full blown scream.Â
âWhat the fuck?âÂ
You might prefer to think that Jungkook was the one to exclaim that, but no. Sitting on the bed with wide eyes and no clothes is his manager, Tae moo. Next to him is Nicole, trying to cover herself up with the help of the duvet as if sheâd not spent the majority of nights sleeping beside Jungkook in the very same state after heâd made love to her.Â
âJungkook, baby. I can explainâÂ
His jaw goes tight, voice turning shaky. âGet out of my house.âÂ
Fierce eyes are pointed at the manager the whole time and he doesnât even bother to look at Nicole. As if someone had set his non-existent pants on fire,Tae moo hurries and plucks whatever fabric he can from the floor and rushes outside.Â
When Jungkook finally glances at Nicole, sheâs got the same look on her face which she does when she wants something from him but canât get herself to form the words. Desperate and pleading.Â
He pinches the bridge of his nose, tone acidic when he asks, âWhy are you still here?âÂ
âWhat?âÂ
âWhy? Did he fuck the common sense out of you?âÂ
She blanches at his words, clearly not expecting him to talk like that. âPlease donât talk to me like that. I told you I can explain.â
Jungkook canât help but let out a chuckle infused with bitterness and disbelief, âWhat could possibly justify you fucking my manager, Nicole. Were you lonely? Did I not give you enough love and attention? Was my dick not enough for you that you just had to jump on another one?âÂ
Every word that comes out of his mouth has an intention of hurting the woman in front of him. Standing there when Jungkook tries to figure out any possible cause of this betrayal, he registers something.
While Jungkook was thriving because of the fact that he has a woman who supports him and keeps him on his toes, holds him when the world gets mean to him, the said woman was using him to feed her ego. He had been indispensable for her to gain the popularity that was left for her. The truth that he'd been a ladder all along for her in order to climb till success hits him like a torrent and an ache throbs through his chest.Â
âWhy would you need another designer when Iâm here?â
âJungkook câmon, all my friends are gonna be there. Donât be a spoilsport.âÂ
âDo they not let you post your girlfriends on your official instagram profile?âÂ
Everything falls into place like a missing piece of puzzle fitting into space. Additionally, Nicole had not even gotten close with any of Jungkookâs friendsâ girlfriends and heâd decided not to dwell on the fact for his own peace.
Arguably, some people just donât click and thatâs fine. Except, those people donât denounce other women behind their back. Her adulterated personality was oozing out of her and he managed to miss it.Â
âI donât know, babe. Her dress was too revealing. Take it from a fashion designer when I tell you she was not fit for that dressâÂ
âIsnât she too touchy with her boyfriend in public? I mean I understand youâre in love but jeezâÂ
It is often said that when youâre in love, youâre unable to see your loverâs flaws because you get blinded. Blinded by their beauty, their charm, and their affection towards you. Safe to say, Jungkook can relate.Â
âGet outâ
âPlease just liste-â
His pitch goes higher. âRIGHT.NOWâÂ
Subsequently, he had been off the market for two whole years. Unfortunately, though, he couldnât escape the endless amount of impolite and not to mention personal questions about his relationship during the interviews.Â
âJungkook, you were seen coming out of several restaurants and clubs with a woman a few years back, but weâve not seen her for a while now. Is there something youâd like your fans to know?â Â
âThe ladies out there are having a field day because it seems our favourite superstar, Jeon Jungkook is single againâÂ
âIs there any chance of us getting to see the mysterious woman again?âÂ
Fucking exhausting.Â
Then, one fine day, he met you.
Ëŕ¨ŕ§â・Ë
Maybe, the trust issues made home inside of him after he found his ex-girlfriend naked and sweaty on his bed with his manager. Maybe, you can blame it on the fact that he had still not gotten over the agony caused by his past relationship.
Itâs almost like the words that come out of his mouth throw him two years back to the very same room where he tasted the vile taste of betrayal.Â
âTell me, honey. Is it the important thing you wanted to talk about but held back just to get a good fuck out of me?âÂ
The sentence is so absurd and disgusting that you canât stop your hands from connecting with his face with a hard force. His face turns sideways as his skin stings because of the slap.
âWatch your tone with me, Jeon Jungkook.â The words are barely a whisper as you gulp, flying into a rage and hoping he eats his own words.Â
Youâre half naked, your hair's a damn mess and you probably have a swollen face with boogers in your eyes, but at this moment, you have to stand up for yourself without caring about any of that. You canât be the person to take first hand beating of something you havenât even thought of doing.
When he looks back at you, you wish someone was holding you because your legs feel weak. The look of betrayal and anger is long gone and now the only thing that exists behind those big doe eyes is hurt. A pain which makes you want to disintegrate.Â
âBaby, I didnât mean-â
âYou know what, _____? I would have seen this coming. I was a fucking fool to even wish for a normal bond with someone without some shit happening to us.âÂ
You watch him storm out the door, slamming it so hard it rattles on its hinges after throwing the blue file on the bed. Your feet remain frozen to the wooden floor and you hope he comes running back in, says heâs sorry and he wants to talk it out.Â
âSome shitâ. He just called the whole situation shit.
A terrible labyrinth of anger, guilt and grief traps you as you find yourself wishing that a tight hug could fix the scattered pieces and mould your relationship back into one beautiful piece.
The words on the report stare back at you as they somehow feel more painful now that your boyfriend is aware of them. He knows heâs got into something he hasnât signed up for and the thought that before you could even explain everything to him, before you could even tell him that you would rather die but hide anything let alone information as huge as this, heâd walked out.Â
Placing the file on the nightstand, you go through your usual morning routine. Take a shower, change into fresh clothes and take your supplements.
Everything is blurry to you, the feeling of loss lingering deep in your chest, slightly aware of the fact that physically, Jungkook is nearby, mentally? Youâre not so sure.
Despite your better judgement, you walk towards the kitchen with the motive of making your breakfast and you find Jungkook looking for something under the couch with two suitcases standing in front of the door. Was he gonna leave without letting you know? When did he even pack?
You take a deep breath and release, knowing exactly what he is looking for, âAre you looking for your glasses?âÂ
He straightens back up and holds your gaze. Thereâs a bit of delay before his answer reaches your ears. âYeah um, I canât seem to find them anywhereâÂ
A minuscule smile forms on your face, âTheyâre inside the bedside drawer. I kept them there cause you know, you tend to lose themâÂ
He doesnât share the humor as you feel a pang in your chest intensifying. Itâs suddenly so quiet that you can hear your as well as his breathing. And itâs uneven. Has your home always been this quiet?Â
You clear your throat, eyes finding the suitcases behind him, âHeading somewhere?âÂ
He does the same and looks back at you. âYeah uh, you remember Jimin calling me yesterday when we-,â he pauses, âWell, I have to go overseas to promote the album and get done with some other formalitiesâÂ
You flash him an understanding smile, feeling utterly shattered inside and not sure if you should ask him as to why he didn't bother to let you know or just let it slide. The question is right at the tip of your tongue but thinking better of it, you gulp it back down.Â
âOf course. How long will you be gone?âÂ
He slides his hands inside his front pockets and sighs, âProbably a week. You canât be precise when it comes to promotions.âÂ
âAlright,â you halt, âUh.. do you want me to get the glasses for yo-âÂ
âNo, I've got it.â He says as he excuses himself. When he comes back, the glasses are resting on his nose making him look even more beautiful than he already is in your eyes.Â
A faint memory of you wiping his glasses for him with your slip dress comes to the surface and you hide a smile.
You watch him round the kitchen counter and pick up his jacket. As he grips the suitcases with both of his hands, the gleaming bracelet catches your attention.Â
What are the odds of him preparing to live without it on his wrist? What are the odds of him preparing to live without you?Â
Youâre not surprised when he begins walking out the front door without saying a word. But you know you have to. You have to let him know that you donât have any intention of giving up on him.Â
With your palms turning clammy, you speak and prepare yourself for whatever comes back as a response, âWaitâÂ
His feet come to a stop, but him not bothering to turn around does nothing to ease your ache if not adds to it.
Swallowing, you continue, âWhe-when you come back, I want to talk it out. I want you to know that you mean too much to me for me to hide such a major information from you and one that has to do with both of us at that. Yes, I held back for a while but thatâs just because I wanted to forget,â the damn tears are threatening to fall yet again, âI wanted to feel for the last time what it's like to be in your arms, your warmth before I break your heart and mine in the process,â Your fastening heartbeat causes you to grip your cardigan in a tight fist,Â
âCan I at least get a hug?âÂ
His shoulders visibly go tensed as he admits over his shoulders, âIâm afraid if I so much as look at you for more than a second, I will break.âÂ
With that the front door opens and closes, leaving you with nothing but warm tears. You try your fucking hardest not to take his statement as face value but god you want to curl up and die. Although, you know none of this is your fault. If only you could see what the future holds, everything could have been much more bearable.Â
Youâre scared youâll lose everythingâ him, your happiness, your future together.Â
Youâre scared youâll burn.
Ëŕ¨ŕ§â・Ë
For as long as he can remember, Jungkookâs childhood had been filled with vivid memories of his parentsâ kisses, them being madly in love with each other, dancing in the kitchen, planning picnic dates and thousands of giggles. He had been blessed with a mother who loved his father more than Jungkook has ever seen someone loving the other person, and his father reciprocated the love tenfold.Â
Along with the love he also had another emotion wrapped around his heart in a tight grip. Fear. Fear that all of that would dissipate. You know, how sometimes when youâre too happy, thereâs just a fucking voice inside of you screaming, âIt wonât last longâ?Â
Thatâs exactly what he used to feel. The root of the fear was a mystery to him and he even tried to forget about it, thinking it might be just a pipe dream.
Except, it was not.Â
And then one day, like a bolt from the blue, Jungkookâs dad was gone.
He still remembers the day very clearly when he saw his dadâs body being carried away on a stretcher, heavy and cold. Meanwhile, he just stood there with fat tears streaming down his cheeks, his mom arms stopping him from running behind his father.
Then, if that was not enough to break him, he lost his mom. Not physically but mentally when her mental state started to deteriorate over the next few years. Before he knew it, his mother totally forgot about his identity as well as his fatherâs. Apparently, that left a scar far too deep.
Whatâs it like to forget the ones you love?
Even though Jungkook had made peace with the fact that his mother will never return the same way heâd known her for, a small part of him still hopes. After all, whatâs so wrong in hoping?Â
His feet drag him down the long hallway filled with wooden brown doors until he stops and stands before one. He clears his throat as he watches the woman just lie there and stare into nothing in particular.Â
When he gains her attention, a smile breaks out from her lips, âThere you are. I knew you would come, Jimin.âÂ
Jungkook runs a palm over his chest, a futile effort to soothe the ache.
âItâs Jungkook, mom. Your sonâÂ
âMy son? How do you know my son?â The vivaciousness long gone from his momâs voice.
He swallows and gets further inside the room. He doesnât try to push it because he knows for a fact that even if she recognizes him today, if tomorrow he comes back heâll be either Jimin or Namjoon or some random man heâs never heard of.Â
âHow are you doing?âÂ
His mom sighs, a pout on her lips as she looks down, âStill the same. I asked the nurse for a cup of tea hours back but she seems to have forgotten about it. That witch.âÂ
He chuckles, sitting himself on the stool. âIâm sure sheâs bringing it in for you.âÂ
Her eyes move over to the window and settle on the maple tree outside. Just watching it. Jungkook ponders if she remembers chasing him under the maple tree when he was a child. Itâs his favorite memory.
âA kind woman stopped by a few days back. God knows what her name was but she had this.. sad look in her eyes, as if someone had snatched something away from her and sheâs broken over it. I wonder if people look at me and feel the same amount of sympathy that I did towards her that day. Iâm not a fool, I know Iâm sick. I could be dead by tomorrow for all you know,â she releases a small sigh as Jungkook waits for her to continue.Â
Except she doesnât and in that moment, Jungkook justâŚ. knows.Â
Ëŕ¨ŕ§â・Ë
Jungkookâs eyes have not left the silver bracelet on his wrist for a while now, brushing it with his fingers lightly as if that would help him rectify his mistakes. He wants to slap himself whenever he remembers the look on your face when those cursed words left him. You looked so broken, so tired.
The woman his mother mentioned is you, itâs so obvious. Something about the way she told him about you made him want to swallow a fistful of iron nails. Fuck even that would hurt less. For a second he saw himself at her place and that made his insides twist in such a way that he didnât understand.Â
What if one day he just wakes up and doesnât remember you? What if it all just disappears? Her memories, your smile, your sweet giggles, your moans, your touch.Â
The thought itself makes him want to rip something into pieces not to mention rip his own heart into pieces.Â
Jungkook can hardly walk through the veil of darkness which fills the hall. He holds his phone screen up for light, calling out for you.
âHoney, you home?âÂ
No response. With his heart in his throat he starts moving towards the bedroom. Gripping the doorknob, he twists it as the door clicks open. Before he can start panicking because of the empty room with nothing but his own stuff scattered around, a cough reaches his ears.Â
His brows crease into a frown, confused. â_____, Iâm starting to worry.âÂ
Another cough follows, making his breath pick up its pace. Following the sound, he finds himself standing outside the guest roomâs door. Wasting no time he pushes the door open as he watches you on the bed covered in layers of blanket with sweat all over your forehead.
He rushes to you in a quick second, heart beating fast. âHey, hey baby,â voice coming out as gently as possible, âYou okay? Why are you here?âÂ
Your eyes land on his face as you sniff. âThis is what happens when you eat your weight in a bucket full of ice cream on a Sunday night.âÂ
Jungkookâs expression flashes with relief, grateful that itâs nothing more than an unfortunate cold.Â
âYou should leave.â
He blinks, âWhat?âÂ
âYou're more contagious to the cold than anyone I know, baby. Go. Iâll be fineâÂ
To be honest, he could give zero fucks about catching a cold right now. He holds your gaze for a long moment before standing up.Â
A quick look of hurt passes through your eyes, but you recover just as quickly.Â
âIf you think Iâm gonna leave you here in this state then you underestimate my love for you, honey. I donât know if you remember, but you wanted us to talk once I come back and I want you to get better and get talking, alright? God knows how I managed to have survived two weeks without you by my side, but now that Iâm here, youâre going nowhere out of my sight.âÂ
âJungkoo-â
He interrupts, âAs for those reports, I donât give a fuck. I donât care if we canât have kids normally as most people do,â he runs his hands through his black locks, messing them up as he continues,
âIn every sense of the word, I just want you. I want you right here with me, holding my hand and making me the happiest motherfucker ever. Weâll try something else. Weâll adopt, weâll go with IVF, weâll-âÂ
âJungkookâÂ
âYeah?âÂ
âBreathe, babyâÂ
So he does as he fills his chest with air, taking a moment to relax. Reaching over, you take his hands in your soft and warm ones, caressing his knuckle tattoo.
âDo I have the permission to be selfish just for one more time?âÂ
He offers you a weak smile, âYou were never selfish to begin with, my love.âÂ
Your hands pull him towards you until heâs lying down by your side. He wraps his arms around you, holding you so close youâre almost one. Â
Jungkook presses a kiss on your clammy forehead followed by one on the tip of your nose, âYou okay?âÂ
âI am nowâ you whisper, letting your head drop weakly forward to pepper kisses across his hoodie clad chest.Â
âIâm gonna speak now and I want you to listen, okay?âÂ
âOkay.âÂ
Your fingers clutch his hoodie in a small fist as you begin, âI lied about babysitting Coco and Iâm sorry about that since I know we promised to never lie to each other, but I had a reason for that. I was at the hospital when you called. I knew you would be at the studio and I didnât want to put you through that when youâre working,âÂ
You look up at him, eyes full of love and affection, âWhen I was young, my mom showed me an orange butterfly which I immediately fell in love with. I played with it for hours before I went back inside the house. I let it go, wishing it would visit me again. I had to let that butterfly go, Jungkook. Because I knew I couldnât keep holding onto it. I was gonna do the same with you that night. I had it all planned out, I was gonna let you know about my infertility and then I was going to ask you for a breakup. Thankfully, I didnât. Do you know why?â
Resigned, Jungkook shakes his head as a teardrop falls.Â
âBecause some things and some people are worth staying for. Youâre worth staying for. I was stupid enough to think that I would survive without you, that I would be able to weather the storm without you by my side.âÂ
Youâre sobbing now, sniffing as your fingers wipe Jungkookâs tears away.Â
He cups your cheek, his fingers brushing featherlight on your skin as the most tantalizing caress. âYou donât have to. Iâll never leave you, baby. Youâre it for me. I canât breathe without you, _____. Do I want a family one day? Of course, Do I want it without you in it? Over my dead body. Youâre my present and I very much have the intention of making you my future too. With all due respect, but something as trivial as that report is not gonna stop me from doing that.âÂ
A heavy moment of silence hangs in the air as he just stares at the love of his life, he didnât even realize when the power came back, illuminating the whole guest room.
You are the first one to say, âI love you.âÂ
âI love you the most.â he declares as his lips brush with yours with immense gentleness and love.Â
âJungkook?âÂ
âYeah honey?âÂ
âWhat do you think about calling our daughter, Ji woo? If we ever have one?â your voice comes out muffled because of the way youâre snuggled against his chest.Â
His lips stretch into the biggest grin ever, chest filling with pride because the woman who he loves the most in his life asked to name the girl heâd love the most in his life after a woman who loves him the most in her life. Even if she doesnât know it.Â
âIâd love that.âÂ
Ëŕ¨ŕ§â・Ë
Few years laterÂ
âWhat-â you gasp as your body goes tense for a quick second before relaxing against Jungkookâs chest. His arms circling around your waist, making you feel cozy and at home.Â
âYou really need to stop scaring me like this.âÂ
âWhy? I canât hug my wife now? I know you secretly like back hugs.âÂ
Wife. The word still holds the same love and power as it did the first time he asked âWill you be my wife and make me the happiest man in the world, honey?âÂ
You let your head fall back against his chest and look up at him, âYou know what? I do.âÂ
âI know you like the back of my hand, wifey.â he says, leaning down to drop a light kiss on your forehead.Â
âI love it when you call me that, but right now youâre distracting me.â Your hands start running over his forearms, caressing. Itâs like a habit for you. You need to touch him whenever you can, feel him close to you as much as possible. Heâs always so warm and soft, it makes you all fuzzy on the inside.Â
His mouth nibbles on your ear, making you shudder. âI donât think so. Besides I barely get to have you for myself these days.âÂ
You sigh and just let yourself relax in his hold. The past few days have been hectic to say the least and nothing can heal you better than being in your husbandâs arms. âHow was practice, baby?â
Jungkook has been working on a new album resulting in him spending most of his time in the studio. You miss him, of course, itâs only normal, but youâre also beyond proud. He took a momentous break from his work the same year you guys were facing issues and he didnât so much as leave your side, promising to always stick around. Through thick and thin as he said in the wedding vows.Â
He ignores your question and sucks on your neck, making you groan.Â
âJungkookâ His lips find yours and he steals a kiss, hands pushing under your sundress as he caresses the back of your thigh. Goosebumps break out all over your body and you curse at the fact that he still holds so much power over you. Your legs go weak and your clutch onto his shoulder for support.Â
As he lets your lips go with a loud pop, you open your eyes and look at him.Â
âWhat are the chances of me getting lucky tonight?â he asks, hands still under your dress, now grazing your ass.Â
âIt-â
Before you could answer him, the sound of tiny footsteps running towards you both reached you. And there she is, your prettiest five year old letting out the biggest shriek after she sees her daddy all but falling down from enthusiasm.
âDa!â her feet pick up the pace as she runs towards him with arms wide open.Â
You detangle yourself from your husbandâs hold and he takes a step back.
He crouches down and catches your little girl, Ji woo, in his arms. Groaning as she crashes into him. âOoffâÂ
âDa, I missed you. Youâre coming to the picnic with us, right? Mommy says you are.âÂ
You watch him laugh and peck her chubby cheek. âOf course, sunshine. Nice daddies never miss picnics with their daughters, do they?âÂ
As they talk like their goofy selves, you just take a moment and watch. By the grace of all things good, youâve had the chance to visit almost everywhere in the world, but this right here is the best view. After musing about it, you and Jungkook decided to go with IVF and youâve not regretted it ever since. Hands down the best decision of your life.Â
Waking up and seeing your husband with your daughter sprawled on his chest as she lets out tiny little snores, watching her fall in love with the same eyes as you did, going on family dates, going to his concerts wearing the same outfits and whatnot. Itâs more than enough for you to thank your lucky stars that you stayed.Â
âMommy, daddy says heâll not steal my strawberry this time.âÂ
You offer her a gentle smile. âDaddy is a little liar, babyâÂ
She lets out the cutest gasp ever, cupping Jungkookâs face with her tiny hands. His face is so big in her hands itâs almost chucklesome.
âIs that right, daddy?âÂ
He playfully narrows his eyes at you as you stick your tongue out. âMommyâs just jealous because you love daddy more. Now, what do you think of making those bracelets together?â
Ji wooâs face lights up like the fourth of July and she starts squirming like a little butterfly in his arms, flapping her arms. Sheâs been asking for her own bracelet after seeing the silver one on Jungkookâs wrist for years now. He suggested custom making one and she got so excited one would think he got her a pet dog or something. Although, heâs considering that too. Nothing surprising there.
When it comes to Ji woo, Jungkook is a loser in love. Youâve never seen him looking at another girl the same way he looks at his daughter. Besides you, of course. Itâs innocent, pure and all things perfect.Â
Before they both leave, she gives you a kiss on the cheek, covering her eyes when your husband pecks your lips.
Your eyes find the butterfly tattoo on your wrist, sometimes seeing it in your daughter. Excited, lively and someone who makes you want to wish it never disappears, the only difference?
Jungkookâs not afraid that everyone will let him go and youâre not uneasy about how you will have no reason to not let go.Â
Youâre healed.
Heâs healed.Â

Breakaway pt I. | hockey!Azriel Ă reader
Summary: You're not a fan of a kiss cam. And neither is your boyfriend.
Word count: 1,8k
Warnings: swearing, miserable knowledge of hockey (sorry yall), Rhys being a protective asshole over his sister
A/n: Anyone a hockey fan? No, just me? Okay. Another thing is, that I described university as I know it in my country haha. I hope no one will be confused
Also yes, I did take inspiration from tiktok. I just loved that scene <3
>> Pt 2
Leaves started to fall which meant your favorite season was starting. You loved anything and everything that came with autumn. The pumpkin spice, moody weather, sweaters, and books. With autumn knocking on your door, the new semester has begun. You didn't mind studying, you actually enjoyed it to a certain degree, but the stress is what always got to you during exams. You were just starting your second year of university, so you knew what to expect. To many that was all. Just endless studying and partying to get their minds off things. You? Not really. Ever since you could remember, fall meant the hockey season started. Were you a hockey player? No, not at all. Ice skating was your passion, just not hockey. That didn't matter, because your brother was the golden child. Rhysand played because your father used to. You would never say it out loud, mainly because it would inflate his ego even more, but Rhysand was a star player. He was so much better than your father and you knew that if he wanted to, he would make it far.Â
 Rhys never acted towards you with any malice other than just a bit of sibling rivalry. He was actually quite protective of you, given the fact you were his little sister. But whatever you did was never good enough for your father. You might study medicine, but Rhys was finishing law. You might figure skate but you were no hockey player. And most of all, you were a woman. And your father despised you for it. You were expected to make it to every game, but no one ever wanted to attend your competitions. You enjoyed watching the games, especially when Rhys met his best friends and teammates at university. The games became so much more interesting when Azriel entered the ice. Rhys might be the captain and the center, but Azriel was a force to be reckoned with, the fastest player in the rink. You became friends with both Cassian and Azriel quickly since you often visited their house to get away from your parents. Rhysand of course was glad but you knew you were off-limits to his friends. Not only was it obvious in how he glared at both of them whenever they made a comment he didnât appreciate. But the first time you met, Cass basically undressed you with his eyes. From what you heard he reminded them often to not mess with his sister.
It did not stop you from developing feelings for him the moment you laid eyes on him. For a while, it did seem he viewed you only as his best friend's little sister. Which you had a hard time accepting. Your relationship changed when you sneaked into a party they had thrown in celebration of a victory last year. You were a first-year, and your first semester at university had been hectic, but living close to your brother and away from your parents was a long-awaited blessing. Having a taste of freedom made you bold. Azriel couldn't take his eyes off of you, you had been like a magnet. He hadn't been the only one as you attracted the attention of another freshman. Azriel might not have acted on his attraction towards you before but seeing you with another man changed that. One thing led to another and you were sneaking out together whenever you found time.
It had been a year and your brother still had no clue. And you intended to keep it that way. You loved your boyfriend, you didn't want to worry about his teeth off the ice as well. Cassian on the other hand suspected, thankfully as you introduced him to your friend, Nesta, he became preoccupied and dropped the matter.Â
''So who do you think will win? And be honest, they're not here, you can't hurt their fragile egos.'' Nesta disturbed your train of thought. You laughed shaking your head. You loved hanging out with her because of how direct she was, always saying exactly what was on her mind. You met Nesta when your university did a charity ballet on the ice of Nutcracker. You got the role of Clara and she was your ballet counterpart. You did not expect to establish a friendship with her, but she was exactly who you needed in your life. You knew she would call you out on your bullshit anytime and you liked her for it. She also happened to be the first person you told about Azriel. She was not surprised, saying that you weren't being as secretive as you thought you had been.
''You know I am still biased since I really want our team to win. The Cavaliers are good and they play dirty. But Cass will probably try to kill Eris on the ice. Given the history and all.'' You gave her a pointed look. Shifting your gaze to the rink, you tried to find number 38.
''Theyâve got no chance against VU.'' Said a guy next to you. You hated when someone butted their way into a conversation. But given the fact, that you would be spending about two hours in close proximity, you had decided for a polite smile. ''I guess so.''
''So how come you've got such good seats? Know someone on the team?'' He chimed in again.
''You could say that. My brother is the captain.'' You answered keeping your eyes on Azriel as he warmed up.
''Rhysand is your brother?''
''Unfortunately.'' You nodded, and his eyes grew in size. ''That's so lucky! I wish I was a hockey player or just knew them. You see, I got these seats because I'll be writing an article about the game.'' You smiled politely again shifting your gaze to the rink when the puck was just about to hit the ice.
As the game progressed, the crowd became electric. All the fans were shouting and your ears began ringing. Velaris Bats were in the lead, but only by one goal and everyone was nervous. To make the game even more enjoyable, there were games for the fans as well. Students competed against one another to win points for their university and win the competition of the tribunes.
The competitions were fun and good entertainment during breaks. But while the game continued the camera was turned on. You laughed at a random do a meme moment, but quickly turned your head back to the ice. You didn't want to miss a second of Azriel's game. Fully focused, you didn't realize that the camera switched to a kiss cam. A guy sitting next to you turned his head to face you and pointed to the TV earning your attention. ''I mean when in Rome, right?'' He laughed as he tried to close the distance. ''Yeah, no, thank you.'' You laughed nervously shifting in your seat.
''Oh come on, it's just a kiss.'' He pressured, and you gave a panicked look towards the ice. You heard Nesta taking a sharp inhale to give the guy a piece of her mind. You were interrupted by shouts of the fans and loud banging on the glass.Â
''Back the fuck off.'' You couldn't hear Az properly, but the message was quite clear, making the guy shift his gaze between the two of you uncomfortably. Az got two minutes for stalling the game which made the crowd boo and your brother yell obscenities as he often did when one of his teammates was sent to a bench. Thankfully during the power play the Cavaliers didn't get a goal in, but it was close. It only enraged Rhysand more which was abundantly clear when he almost broke his stick as the second period came to an end.
Azriel was sending daggers to the guy sitting next to you who looked like he wanted nothing more than to leave. He relaxed when the players left for their locker rooms. You just hoped Rhys didn't look much into Azriel's possessive behavior.
''What the fuck was that?'' Roared Rhys as he entered the locker room.
''I don't know what you're talking about.'' Azriel continued to take off his gear.
''Do not play with me! You could have cost us the game.''
''I was thinking I did you a favor. He had no right to touch her like that.'' He finally faced Rhysand.
''It was a fucking kiss cam.''
''She didn't want to be kissed. And he didn't back off.''
''So what? You made it your mission to help her while you were supposed to pay attention to the puck?'' Spit Rhys. Everyone in the locker room was silent watching the two stubborn players go head to head.
''Yes! And I would do it again.'' Azriel retorted.
''I could have you off the team for this.'' He hissed.
''Rhys-.'' Cassian signed. ''Be my guest.'' Azriel interrupted starring Rhysand down. He wouldn't back down. He couldn't. He knew you could have handled yourself back there. Hell, Nesta was there, too and she wouldn't let some guy do anything disrespectful. He just acted on an impulse. When he looked up and saw your panicked gaze, something shifted inside him. Rhys kept watching Azriel, staring right into his soul when suddenly his eyes grew larger as if recognizing what he should have seen from the very beginning.
''You've got to be kidding me.'' When Azriel didn't answer, Rhys continued, ''Tell me you donât have a thing for my little sister.ââ
''Azriel, I swear to everything that is holly, I will fucking punch you if you don't give me an answer.''
''We are together. Have been for almost a year.'' Azriel never saw anyone have an aneurysm. But if he could guess, Rhysand was a textbook example of how it looked like.
''I take it back, I will punch you anyway.'' And he might have if Cassian wasn't there to catch Rhys. ''Easy there killer. The game is still on. And you might not like it but Az is an asset.''
''I don't want to see you anywhere near her, understand? I know how you are with girls!'' Rhysand snarled.
''You know I can't do that.''
''Then you're off the team.''
''Fine.''
As they returned to the ice, the tension between Velaris Bats was palpable. Cassian was looking between his teammates probably trying to find a quick solution to the problem at hand. Azriel wasn't paying you any attention keeping his gaze on the ice only. You frowned slightly. When you looked at Rhys you found him staring back at you anger oozing out of his every move.Â
He knew.

Shades of Cool
NEGLECTFUL!PLATONIC!YAN!batfam x GN!reader
synopsis : growing up with a shit mom and constant step-dads and mom's boyfriends, your view on life has grown pretty bleak. you just want to die, since it doesn't seem to get better than this. things can't get any worse, can they?
wsp guys. it's been pretty long, huh?... OK IM SORRY FOR NOT POSTING IT QUICKLY. here, damn đ. anyways, i hope yall enjoy n im glad u guys liked the first chapter. lets just hope this one lives up to yalls expectations đ. follow me and repost this if u want a chapter three. also I NEED SOMEONE TO EDUCATE ME ABOUT SUNDAY FROM HSR BC I WANNA WRITE FICS ABOUT HIM SO BAD SO PLS SOMEONE EDUCATE ME N ALSO IF U KNOW LOVE AND DEEP SPACE??? PLS HIT ME UP AND EXPLAIN THIS LORE BC I WANNA WRITE YANDERE FICS FOR THEM SO BAD
âWhy are balls called balls when testicles sounds hella fancier?â
At your friendâs bizarre question, the face of your other friend, Zarian, twinges in disgust. âJayelene⌠why do you feel the need to put that out there?â
You huff in amusement, focusing on your pizza before what Jaylene says ruins your entire mood.
âIâm just saying! Testicles just seems more appropriateâ¤the type of fancy shit drake and his family would say.â
Tim Drake WayneâŚ
Dinner with him and his freak-a-zoid family was like trying to make it past no-manâs land without any help to shield you from the straight up chilling vibes they gave off with their constant comments about bat facts. Bats. The atmosphere during the entire time you spent there was dreadful and quite literally heavy since Tim's youngest little brother wanted to sneak stares at you as if you wouldnât notice his bug-looking eyes creeping into your soul.
Rich people really are weird, huh?
The Wayne family is nothing like how you expected them to be. Theyâre supposed to be cold, mysterious, and irresistibly enchanting, but all youâve got are creepy vibes and a strong urge to stay away from them as much as possible. From the way Mr. Wayne made that weird comment about your father in the limo to how forcibly happy Richard or âDickâ was with you, youâve come to an understanding that rich people are complete lunatics.
The Wayne family is full of a bunch of lunatics.
And youâre not afraid to voice that.
âThere you go again,â Jaylene sighs when she notices the irritated expression on your face. âItâs never that serious, [Name]. You just hate everyone.â
âNo, you don't get it! They were creepy as hell! Like⌠Like bats in dark caves coming at you all at once. They talk funny, they look funnyâ¤they act funny! What normal man name drops your motherâs name after knowing each other for about thirty minutes?â
Zarian huffs in amusement. âThatâs the creepy part. How does Mr. Wayne know your name?â
âI dont know.â You run your fingers through your hair and lean back against the booth seat. âI don't want anything to do with them. Billionaire or not, how the hell does he know my motherâs name.â
It was perhaps towards the end of your stay at the Wayneâs manor for dinner, and you knew you had to go home, so you had largely hinted at leaving to Drake. Everything had gotten wrapped up, but when you were just about to leave, Mr. Wayne had told you, âmake sure to tell [M/n] I said hi.â
You could only stare at him in shock as your body carried along, because how does a man as famous and wealthy as bruce wayne know your motherâ¤your mother? Heâs the chief executive officer of Wayne Enterprises yet mentions your mother?
That moment alone is enough to wave every red flag in your brain that screams at you, telling you something is up with these shady people. The only question is what? What can a billionaire possibly want from you? Out of everything the world has to offer, the most influential billionaire in America wants to target some meager high school kid?
What do these people want from you? Is it a rich people thing to play around with those below you? Well, you guess it probably is. Like, is Mr. Wayne gonna pop out with his soulless eyes and say, âyouâre my long lost child?â or something?
You still donât know why youâre being a goat stuffed before slaughtering. These people want something from you, but you? Youâve got nothing to offer that they could want. Why the hell do they even bother? If there's one thing you really hate, itâs being left in the dark like this. Not knowing is terrifying. It's dangerous. Not knowing means not being prepared, and if youâre not prepared, you wonât make it out. Damn it, you shouldâve booked it the moment Mr. Wayne mentioned your father in the limo. Movies and shows always display rich people as eccentric and psychopathic weirdos, and now youâre finally believing it.
Damn it.
Youâre in danger. Okay.
Maybe thatâs an exaggeration. But maybe itâs not.
Youâve watched enough true crime and have enough intuition and trust in your gut to know when something is wrong.
Itâs not adding up.
Youâre not dumb. You see all the warnings there, but what if you're exaggerating. What if this is just the nature of the Waynes, and you think youâre special enough to be noticed by them? Mr. Wayne is a damn billionaire! Heâs got the money to do whatever he wants, so itâs only natural for him to do a background check on everybody that interacts with his sons, right?
Itâs all in your head⌠Itâs all in your head.
Sighing, you stare at the plate of food in front of you, appetite long gone. Still, you grab a fork and continue to eat as Zarian and Jaylene scream back and forth next to you. Drake, who had accompanied the three of you to the diner after practice, has left, thankfully. He left as soon as his food arrived while talking about some family emergency, and honestly, youâre pretty damn grateful for that.
Ever since dinner at his house, heâs surrounded you like a pillow smothering you, and you canât do anything about it. Heâs a billionaireâs son, for fuckâs sake.
It doesnât take long for you and your friends to finish up, and you all part ways at the door of the diner before you clutch the straps of your backpack and walk around the city endlessly. This is a habit for you nowâ¤a way to put off going home as much as possible ever since you found out your motherâs boyfriend doesnât come home until one or two in the morning.
That balding, ugly, sleazy piece of shit.
Heâs as gross as every other man your motherâs brought home under the terribly veiled illusion that heâll provide her a good life and treat her right. No matter how many times you try to tell that blind bitc⌠No. It's wrong. Itâs not your motherâs fault.
But it sometimes feels like that, though.
Most motherâs destroy their own lives for their children, yet yours cannot even think about leaving the man that beats her child on a daily. Those types of mothers leave their spouses the second they see something wrong, while your mother treats those finger-print bruises around your neck like a necklace instead of abuse.
Youâve given up on her. You gave up on her back when you were eleven years old locked in a room with her boyfriend, and she didnât listen. Or when you were twelve. Or thirteen. Or fourteen. Or fifteen. Or sixteen. Or seventeen. And now eighteen.
And each day feels like a repetition of the same. Wake up, go to school, practice, walk around, go home, get beat, and sleep like none of it all happens. Itâs a routine you despise with every fiber of your beingâ¤makes you wanna jump over Gotham City Bridge before thinking about returning home because who would want to? Who wants this average life?
A life where youâre not happy enough, not sad enough. Not good enough, not bad enough. Not energized enough, not tired enough. You feel like a survivor of a plane crash floating on a raft at the center of the endless ocean with no way out. Everything just seems so vast, wide, and unreachable. How can you find the shore on a simple raft? How can you find a way out of inescapable misery if itâs not by drowning?
Youâve been waiting to find the shore, but itâs been a whole eighteen years since youâve found yourself floating along the ocean.
That whole âitâll get betterâ shit is a tragic lie.
Whatever.
It doesnât matterâ¤not anymore, at least. Youâre going to get far away from this place and never look back. Never have to relieve this wretched city. Never have to be confined by chains again. Youâve only a few months left before youâre free.
Until then, youâll have to be patient and go home because the sun has fully disappeared.
Nothing but satellites twinkle in the disgustingly polluted sky of Gotham City, and the streets have come to a staggering halt as you stroll about the sidewalks, trying to find the longest path to get home. One in the morning is always the perfect time in Gotham because itâs too late and too early to be outside, so itâs generally safe for a walk.
Of course, the universe likes to prove you wrong at every point.
The sound of a thud followed by a pained groan behind you has your legs locked and ready to run with your brain screaming alerts, but you take a deep breath and turn around. How bad can it get, anyways? The sight before you surprised you nonetheless. Itâs⌠Nightwing, a Bludhaven hero, here in Gotham, just randomly popping up behind you?
With clear bleeding cuts and sprouting bruises across his body.
In the random alley you just happen to be in?
No. Youâre looking into it too much.
His eyes lock onto and they make you freeze right then and there like heâs cast some spell upon you. But thatâs for a cold, brief second before youâre hooking your thumbs under the straps of your backpacks and turning around hot on your heels, refusing to spare him a single second.Â
You even hear him murmur a strained, âwait,â but you don't care.Â
Itâs rude, mean, cruel, and itâs also none of your business. All you simply do is walk ahead to your approaching doom with an pit of unease and bitter understanding of your helplessness in your stomach. You can already feel the soon-to-be new bruises blooming along your back.
Youâre not a good person.
But, really, who is?
Smoking really does skill.
But now you know why people do it.
Each drag is more out of necessity than it is a choice ever since youâve met your friendâs plug at the dumb age of sixteen, but it's a way to dull the harsh truth of reality. The world just fades into nothing but muted and mixed colors like the loud city underneath your balcony it blurs into a faint hum the longer you stare at the spiral puffs of smoke that disappear into the air.Â
Everythingâs bitterâ¤the joint and you.
Really bitter at the blood semi-dried on your face and the dull ache along your back.
Youâve got about an hour and a half until you have to head out to school, so what other way is there to spend it than smoking away your brain? The jointâs a temporary escape, but it helps you stall whatever new feeling of despair youâll feel for the day. Until youâre interrupted by your phone buzzingâ¤the sound still a dull hum in your ears
â... Hello?â
â[Name]!â
Zarianâs voice?
âWhere the hell are you? Hurry up and get to school or else youâre gonna get in trouble for not helping to set up the club fair, and coach will be on our ass! And don't forget to bring money for the tickets!â
Coach?... Club fair?... Club fair! Holy shit!
Your eyes shoot open, and you frantically scramble up, tossing the joint over the balcony railing before hectically staggering through the living room like a drunk man. Damn it, how could you be so clueless and forget such an important event? Especially one you need money for! Damn itâ¤damnit! What do you do?
⌠Mom! Sheâs got a box of money somewhere in her closet, right? Youâve seen it before! It's just twenty dollars, and she wont notice. Okay⌠Okay. Youâre quick to get ready. You wash away all the blood thatâs dried on your face, brush your teeth, and change into baggy jeans and a clean shirt before storming into your motherâs bedroom and rummaging through her things.Â
Sheâs off at work. Her bastard boyfriend doesn't come home until late at night, which means heâs probably already taken money for the day. Okay. That's fine. They won't notice.
But you can't find anything! What the hell? Where is that fucking box? You couldâve sworn it was there on the top shelf last night, but as you swipe your hands across everything on the shelf, you canât find it. All of a sudden, something made of wood hits the top of your head and falls to the ground with a crack. You hiss, palm moving to cover where you got hit, but your eyes land on the box that now has money strewn all across the floor and a broken⌠false bottom?
What the fuck.
You pull away at the rest of the false bottom to only be met with countless photos of you as a child with your mother. Momâs shit boyfriend had all the family photos taken down for some weird reason, so theyâve been here this entire time? All of these photos are full of you throughout every stage of your life, but some have different people in them as well. Their faces are either scratched out or theyâre ripped out of the photo entirely.
From what you can gather, the figures are a man and what seems to be a teenage boy. The absurdity and even slight creepiness of the scratched out faces has you laughing, yet even with your now dulled senses, your eyes land on a photo you failed to notice earlier. Maybe youâre hallucinating. There must be something wrong with your brain. Or your eyes. The universe must be playing with you because is that a photo of you and a teenage-looking dick grayson?
Your eyes widen because it looks just like the strange man you had the unfortunate opportunity of having a conversation with during dinner with the Waynes. Itâs him! More importantly, why the hell is he holding a âthree year oldâ youâs hand? You probably should be screaming. Yelling. Maybe panicking? But all you can do is shuffle through the rest of the box before your fingers graze against something metal that has your heart jumping.
Itâs a small camera.
With a bat engraved on its side.
Ears ringing so loudly in your head you can't even think, you wipe your teary and red eyes hastily before grabbing a twenty dollar bill, putting everything except for the photo and camera in the box, set it back on the closet shelf, and hastily grab your backpack before making way to school.
The second you reach the damned place, you seek out your now three friends and drop into a seat with a heavy thud, sighing and meeting Tim's eyes with a burning gaze.
âYou mean to tell me [Name] found the camera? And you decided to tell me after school?â
Time Drake Wayne sighs and runs his fingers through his black hair, shrugging apathetically while scrolling through every photo in his phone that heâs taken of you during the club fair. His brother, Richard, is pacing throughout his room anxiously as he rambles off about their latest fuckup.Â
âLook, Bruce doesn't let any slip ups happen,â Tim murmurs in exasperation. âHe wouldn't let this happen because [Name]âs mom and him talked this morning. Relax, he probably knows.â
It's not a lot, but itâs enough to calm Richard down. The man takes a deep breath but finds himself sitting down next to Tim, trying to get a good look at the pictures. âHow mad was [Name]?â
âHigh, for starters, but clearly pissed off. Very observant, too.â
âDonât tell anyone else. Not until Bruce gives us the okay.â

episode six: the dive
âYou do realize Skull Rock is a super popular make out spot? It wasnât popular until I made it popular, alright? I practically invented it.â The words slip from Steveâs mouth before he can really understand the consequences behind them. He stops dead in his tracks and stares at you, eyes wide in fear. âNice one, Steve.â You pat his chest sarcastically, sharing a disgusted look with Dustin.
Summary: dustin rejects the pity pringles you offer, eddie is straight up not having a good time, nancy does some investigative journalism about you and steve (gossips with robin), and steve suddenly decides he wants to take up scuba diving. for some reason. but hey ! title drop time !
Rating: general, some swearing
Warnings: fem!reader, use of y/n, cursing, mentions of death and violence
Words: 7.4k
Before you swing in: HI !!!! HAPPY ONE YEAR OF COME HOME !!! weve reached the scene everyone has so patiently waited for ;) can yall believe it took a full year before we finally reached the fated title drop ??? i can ! anyways, pls enjoy. i love this chapter and you guys so so so much :')))
â
âWant some?âÂ
Dustin smacks the pringle that Steve dangles away from his face. âGet that away from me.â
âBut you love Pringles,â your hand waves in front of his face, holding yet another chip. Youâre sitting in Nancyâs trunk with Steve, eating leftover pringles from the supply run from this morning for Eddie. Dustin sits in the middle, squished between Max and Lucas. âHere, take one as a peace offering.â
âIâd rather be stuck between Lucas and Max than you and Steve, Y/N.â Dustin huffs, though he does eventually take the chip that you offer him.
Steve chews another chip. âTotally harsh, dude.â
The car turns and youâre suddenly pressed against your boyfriend, knee bending at an uncomfortable angle. âCozy car, Nance.â You quip, repositioning yourself so your ribcage is no longer in your lungs.Â
âSorry, guys.â She glances back at you. âI know this isnât ideal, but Eddie is almost definitely low on food and heâll want to hear what we found.â
âNot to be a wimp, but can I sit in the car for this visit?â Robin asks from the passenger seat. ââCause this is gonna totally and royally suck.â
You toss a chip into your mouth. âI agree. Especially after his weird broadcast yesterday.â
Dustin whips his head to look at you. âEddie contacted Cerebro?â
âDid I not tell you?âÂ
âNo!âÂ
âShit, sorry.â Yesterday was a blur. After the lights exploded in Victor Creelâs attic, youâd all driven silently back to Nancyâs. Hardly anyone spoke afterwards. You all had gone to bed quiet, reeling from the implications of what youâd found. âIt was weird. I couldnât really understand him, the signal was weak.â
Dustin gestures wildly at you. âOkay, but what did he say?â
âSomething about Jason? And holes in a boat?â Youâd been recovering from your panic attack when Eddieâs voice came through the radio. The details were fuzzy.Â
âA boat? Why the hell would Eddie need a boat?â
You shrug. âNo clue, but I feel bad for the guy.â
The entire situation is grim. Eddie has been accused of murdering at least two Hawkins students, he apparently runs a cult, and now the only way of clearing his name involves El and the Upside Down. Both of which are currently out of reach.Â
While you can barely tolerate the guy, itâs a shame that he doesnât stand a chance.
âItâll be fine.â Nancy insists, but Robin shakes her head.Â
âI canât stand to see those doe eyes of Eddieâs break again. I really, really canât.â
ââDoe eyesâ is a little much.â You scrunch your nose in displeasure. Steve snorts and Dustin glares at you. âJust saying.â
âAt least he can drink himself into feeling better.â Steve offers, picking up the six-pack of beer and waving it around.
Max looks out the window. âThatâs what my mom does.â
Lucas catches your eye. No one catches what Max has said besides you two. He looks upset, but you shake your head at him. Now isnât the time. If he says anything to her, Max will close back in on herself.Â
Robin and Nancy return to their conversation while you sit quietly in the back. Steve notices your change in demeanor and frowns. Unsure whatâs caused it, he holds up a pringle and winks at you. âBet you canât catch this with your mouth.â
Itâs a welcomed distraction. You sit up, eyes alight. âYouâre on, Harrington.â
And the game is on. Steve tosses a chip into the air and you duck your head, angling your mouth so that you catch it just before it lands. Eyes wide, you throw your arms in the air and cheer. âI did it!â
Steve claps, whooping. âThatâs my girl!â
Reaching for the bag of pringles, you grab one and donât even give Steve a warning before youâre throwing it at him. He yelps, surprised, but with ease he catches it. He cheers again and chews triumphantly. âAnd you tried to cheat!âÂ
You roll your eyes. âTechnically it wasnât cheating, I just didnât warn you.â
Steve pokes you side, eliciting a giggle from you. âIâll get you for that, Henderson.â
âIâd like to see you tryââ The sight of a police car stops you.Â
Nancy sees it, too. âOh, shit.â
Youâre just outside of the boathouse Eddie is hiding out in. There are cars everywhere, cops walking along the perimeter, controlling a crowd that has formed. A news station van blocks your vision, but you get a sickening sense of deja-vu anyways.Â
This is exactly how itâd been when Fredâs body was found.
Nancy ushers everyone to the side of the van, ducking down so you arenât seen. Officer Powell is giving a speech to the press. He stands before the frightened audience, voice stern, but also tired. You canât imagine what it must be like, being chief of police without having any idea of the horrors that Hawkins hides.Â
âThe Roane County line received a call a little after midnight, reporting a homicide here on the lake.â
Everyone freezes. Another body has been found.Â
âThatâs three deaths in three days.â You canât breathe. This is all happening too fast. Faster than anything youâve ever had to deal with before.
Chief Powell continues. âIt was here that we found the body of the victim, an eighteen year old senior from Hawkins High, Patrick McKinney.â
Lucas stiffens next to you. Patrick had been his teammate. His friend. Numb, you rub his back, offering whatever ounce of comfort you can give him.Â
âWe have also identified a person of interest.â The chief holds up a photo of Eddie, showing it to the broadcasters before him. âEddie Munson.â
You suck in a breath. The only thing Eddie had going for him was that no one knew he was the main person of interest. His identity had still been concealed, buying him a little more time while you tried to find answers for him.Â
But now itâs too late.Â
âThis is not good,â Steve mumbles as officer Powell encourages the town to come forward with any information they may have about Eddie. âThis is really not good.â
âHeâs fucked.â You whisper. The crowd standing before Powell is large. Nearly half the town leans into his every word. Theyâre angry. All of them. Another one of their own has been taken. Another child.Â
And theyâd do anything to save Hawkinsâ children.
The manhunt has begun.Â
âDustin, can you hear me? Hendersons?â Eddieâs voice cackles through the walkie.
Everyone scurries around your brother while he fumbles with his bag, anxious to respond. When he finally finds his walkie, he breathes out a sigh of relief. âEddie. Holy shit. Are you okay?â
âNah, man.â He sounds exhausted, seconds away from completely breaking down. Something within your chest tightens. No one deserves this. âIâm pretty goddamn far from okay.â
Robin prods Dustin to ask where Eddie is. No one wants him to be alone right now. Not when heâs become Hawkinsâ most wanted.
âIâm at Skull Rock. Do you know it?â
Dustin nods eagerly. âUh, yeah. Thatâs near Cornwallis andââ
âGarrett, yeah.â Steve is already running towards Nancyâs car. âI know where that is.â
You grab Dustinâs shirt. âTell Eddie weâll be there soon, alright?â
âYeah-yeah I will.â The urgence in your voice scares him a little. He knows youâd do whatever to protect someone, but he never thought youâd extend this protectiveness to Eddie. Bringing the walkie to his lips, Dustin delivers your message. âHold tight. Weâre coming.â
The walkie clicks off.Â
All you can do is hope that you make it to Skull Rock in time.Â
âÂ
The last time you trekked through Hawkins woods, you had to endure Steve and Dustin constantly arguing as you all threw down chunks of meat onto the train tracks.
Now, over a year later, theyâre still arguing.
At least this time there isnât the stench of raw meat.
âIâm telling you, weâre going the wrong way.â Dustin nags Steve, holding his compass in one hand and a map of Hawkins in the other. âSkull Rock is in the other direction. Youâre totally wrong.â
Steve shoves him, causing the teen to trip over a tree root. âWhatâs up with you always thinking Iâm wrong these days?â
âBecause youâre always wrong.â
You flick the brim of Dustinâs hat. âSteve has had a few good ideas from time to time. Heâs taking us the right way.â
âNo, heâs not. Itâs north.â Dustin points behind him. Steve rolls his eyes in disbelief. âIâm positive. I checked the map.â
âYou do realize Skull Rock is a super popular make out spot? It wasnât popular until I made it popular, alright? I practically invented it.â The words slip from Steveâs mouth before he can really understand the consequences behind them. He stops dead in his tracks and stares at you, eyes wide in fear.
âNice one, Steve.â You pat his chest sarcastically, sharing a disgusted look with Dustin.
âOkay, I didnât mean it like that.â Steve trips over his words, nearly falling flat on his face as he struggles to keep up with you. âI mean, I did kiss a lot of girls there, but-but that was before I enjoyed kissing you!â
Your brother gags. âReal catch there, Y/N.â
âIâm ignoring you both,â you tell the boys, continuing down the path Steve pointed out earlier. The gaps in the trees start to become familiar. The rugged terrain smooths over from excessive use, creating an unmarked trail that youâve walked before. âMore importantly, I think weâre getting close to Skull Rock.â
âSee? I told you, little Hendersonââ Steve starts to cheer, happy to be right. Then the joy on his face quickly dissipates. Heâs realized something. âWait, how⌠how do you know where Skull Rock is, Y/N?â
A twig snaps beneath your shoe. âUsed to go there all the time with Jonathan.â
âWhat?â Steve and Dustin balk at you, nearly toppling over the other in shock.
Quickly you realize the horrific implications of your words. âJesus, not like that! We would only go there to read together and listen to music!â
It was your way of escaping life together. Just the two of you, early mornings before the rest of Hawkins woke up. The dew would still be on the grass. Everything was easier, then.
You miss those days more than anything.Â
Dustinâs suspicious eyes linger on you, though he seems content enough with your explanation. Steve, however, still looks uncertain and utterly mortified. His distrust makes you sigh in annoyance.Â
âI have never once kissed Jonathan.â
âRight!â Steve snaps back to himself, coughing and wiping his hands on his pants. âYeah. Totally already knew that. For sure.â
Dustin hits his shoulder. âDude. Learn when to shut up.â
âWorking on it.â Steve mumbles bitterly, trying to catch your eye, but you ignore him.Â
Behind you, Nancy and Robin walk silently together. Theyâd been the odd ones out in the group. You had paired off with Dustin and Steve to try and quell their arguing while Max and Lucas wandered off alone.
Neither girl speaks. Thereâs not a lot to say between them. When you come across a fallen log, they watch silently as Steve extends his arm to you, helping you jump over it. His grip is delicate on your arm, though firm enough to guide you. After youâve jumped, his eyes instinctively go to your ankle, the same one you sprained years ago, to make sure you arenât limping.
Itâs a subtle, easy to overlook action. But Nancy and Robin see it, and they both understand how painstakingly sincere it is. Your ankle never quite healed right. Some days it bothers you, particularly after walking long distances or jumping too much on it.Â
And Steve knows your body well enough to understand this.Â
âUgh,â Robinâs scoff breaks the silence, happy to voice what she knows Nancy is thinking. âTheyâre so adorable. I just wanna squeeze âem, ya know?â
Nancy smiles at her, although itâs strained. âSteve is very⌠sweet. With Y/N.â
ââSweetâ? More like tooth-rotting, Nance.â
And Robinâs right. The way Steve is around you, there almost isnât a word for it. Nancy has never really seen the two of you together. By the time Steve finally asked you out, itâd been only a week before Joyce told Jonathan they were moving.
Steve had stepped back after that. He allowed you and Nancy to spend as much time as physically possible with Jonathan before he moved. He recognized the strained history between him and Jonathan; he hadnât wanted to spoil the little time you had left together.Â
When summer ended and senior year began, Steve had already graduated and Nancy had thrown herself into the school paper by then.
Now, after spending the last few days around you and Steve nonstop, Nancy canât help but notice all the nuanced ways the two of you are together. Sheâs picked up the small cues between you, the quirks in your relationship. And she feels a strange sense of curiosity about it.
âSteve and Y/N,â Nancy pauses, unsure how to phrase her question. She doesnât want to sound intrusive or rude. âHow, um. Serious are they?â
Robin is slightly surprised by her question, but the flush of Nancyâs cheeks tells her that itâd been hard for her to even ask it. âOh, theyâre very serious. Like starting a life together serious.â
âA life together?â Nancy doesnât believe it. She doesnât understand how the two of you could already be at the point in your relationship. Youâve been together less than a year.Â
A lot less longer than Nancy has been with Jonathan.Â
âYeah, Steve has this crazy idea of following Y/N to NYU.â Robin almost doesnât think she should be telling her this, but Nancy seems to be hurting and she feels bad for her. Nancy wouldnât be asking about this if there wasnât a reason to. âHis heart is like, totally set on it. Itâs crazy and all, but itâs sweet in his own Steve-ish way.â
âIt is sweet.â Nancy affirms, a far off look in her eyes. The same far off look in her eyes from the other day in the library. Robin had asked about Jonathan and suddenly Nancyâs entire demeanor shifted.Â
Robin clears her throat. âIâm guessing you and Jonathan havenât figured out the whole life thing yet?â
âThat isnât any of your business.â Nancy responds coldly.
âWell, you did start this entire conversation asking about Steve and Y/Nâs relationship.â Robin points out, though not unkindly. âAll Iâm saying is that someone in a happy relationship wouldnât ask about another personâs relationship and look totally depressed while doing so.â
Nancy shakes her head incredulously. âJonathan and I are fine.âÂ
âOkay.â Robin says, but itâs obvious to them both that she doesnât believe her.Â
âWeâre good.â Nancy tries again, but not even she believes her own words. Defeated, she turns away from Robin and sighs heavily. âItâs just, he was supposed to be here for the break and then he backed out at the last minute for some vague, mumbly Jonathan reason.â
She doesnât know why sheâs confiding in Robin about this. Theyâre barely friends, Nancy has never spoken to her outside of party related stuff. But Robin remains quiet, listening, Her attention is all it takes before the dam in Nancyâs chest collapses.Â
âAnd, to be honest, Iâm not that surprised because Iâve been feeling him pulling away lately.â All the hurt and anxiety and insecurity Nancy has pent away finally unravels as she speaks. She canât stop. âAnd I donât know if itâs because weâre 2,000 miles away or if he met someone new or-or if Y/Nââ
Nancy stops herself, aware that Robin is your friend. Not hers. Looking away, she hopes Robin didnât hear her slip. âAnd now I canât find out why because apparently heâs blown up his familyâs house phone or something, so yeah. If the mention of his name caused a slight muscle spasm or curiosity over another personâs relationship, thatâs probably why.â
She swallows down tears. Her chest feels lighter, emptier. The frustration is gone, though the bitterness remains.Â
Robin is quiet for a moment. The resentment Nancy has been exhibiting makes sense now. While Steve would follow you anywhere, Jonathan doesnât seem to want to follow Nancy. âFeels like a perfectly reasonable reason to flinch or be nosey.âÂ
Nancy smiles at her, eternally grateful. âDoes you accepting my nosiness officially make us friends?â
Robin immediately agrees, albeit in her own shy way, and Nancy laughs alongside her. Itâs a nice moment, one Nancy hadnât known that she needed. Your friendship with the girl doesnât seem so strange now.Â
Steveâs distant cheer alerts the others that heâs found Skull Rock.
âOh, boom!â He crouches beneath a shrub and swats away a spider web. Heâs too excited to gloat that he doesnât even care that there could be spiders in his hair yet again. âIn your face, little Henderson. In your stupid, cocky little face!â
âWhoâs the fifteen year old here?â You ask your boyfriend, looking at him pointedly.Â
Dustin looks down at his compass and frowns. âDoesnât make sense.â
âYou hearing him, Y/N?â Steve waves his hands in front of the giant boulder. âEven with it staring him right in the face, the kid canât even admit that heâs wrong! And youâre saying Iâm the immature one? Heâs such a little butthead.â
âSure, because every nineteen year old says butthead as an insult-fuck!â A body lands next to you with petrifying force. You fall back in panic, heart pounding in your chest.
âI concur,â Eddie smiles at you wickedly. âYour brother, Dustin Henderson, is a total butthead.â
Dustin is hugging Eddie before youâve even caught your breath. The relief on his face is evident. âJesus, we thought you were a goner.â
âYeah, me too.â Eddie clutches your brother tightly, the weight of the last few days bearing their toll on him. Still, the glint in his eyes hasnât left yet. Winking at you, Eddieâs mischievous smile is back. âNever thought Iâd see precious Hawkinsâ sweetheart at Skull Rock. Sorry for the fright, by the way.â
You glare at him. âI hate you.âÂ
Eddie pulls away from Dustin and nudges you with his shoulder. âTo be fair, you were kinda useless when I needed you yesterday. Isnât your whole shtick helping people?âÂ
Sheepish, you duck your head. âIn my defense, the signal was shitty. You kept breaking up, I couldnât really do anything about holes in boats.â
âItâs okay, youâll just donate your liver to me the next time I need one.â Eddie nudges your shoulder again, eliciting a begrudging laugh, breaking any remaining tension between you two.
Steve stands next to you, his arm wrapped around your waist in a protective manner. His eyes never leave Eddie, distrustful. âYouâre not taking Y/Nâs liver.â
âNo oneâs taking my liver,â you roll your eyes at him fondly before turning to Eddie. âBut I can bake you something as compensation.âÂ
Eddie clicks his teeth. âEven better.â
Nancy hands the bag of food over to him and he takes it eagerly. He rifts through its contents while everyone else gathers around him. You all allow him time to adjust, to breathe for a moment.Â
But eventually the overwhelming need to know outweighs the guilt. Nancy, always the one to get straight to the point, finally breaks the silence. âWhat happened yesterday?â
Eddieâs face darkens. âJason and his goddamn goons. They were at the lake house and I was cornered. Didnât know what to do. The fuckers were angry.â
Your eyes wander his face, noting the lack of bruises and cuts on it. A fight hadnât broken out, which means Eddie escaped somehow. âAnd when they found you?â
Eddie takes a swig from his flask. He winces at the taste, but it seems to settle his nerves. âTurns out, the boat didnât have holes.â
âSo Patrickâs body, was itâŚ?â Nancy canât bring herself to finish the question.Â
âFound in the lake? Sure was.â Eddie smiles venomously. âHe tried swimming after me, so did Jason. Only one of them made it back to shore.â
Lucas looks away, grief clouding his expression. You mumble an apology to him. You hate that there isnât anything else you can do to help him. Heâs lost so much already.
âIt was the exact same thing that happened to Chrissy. Patrickâs body shot out of the water like a fucking rocketlauncher.â Eddie says bitterly. His teeth are clenched, the memories from last night are gruesome to recount. âThen his bones started snapping and Jason lost his mind. He thought I was the one doing it.â
Dustin paces next to you. Heâs mumbling to himself, every detail Eddie reveals only worries him more. Vecna has made his third kill. You and Max are next. Thereâs something that heâs missing. He just doesnât know what.
âI ended up falling into the water and swimming to shore. I tried calling, but my walkie was busted, man. Drenched.â Eddie drinks again. He shakes his head curtly, scoffs to himself. âSo I, uh. Did the thing that I now, apparently. I ran.â
The condescension in his voice, the cold laugh, upsets you. Heâs disappointed in himself, he hates what heâs done, but no one blames him. There was no saving Patrick. Anyone who witnessed such a cruel death also wouldâve run away. âYou had no choice, Eddie.â
He ignores your comfort and instead answers Nancyâs question of what time the attack took place. âYeah, I know exactly what time it was.â Eddie unclasps his watch and holds it up. âMy walkie wasnât the only thing that got soaked.â
Nancy catches the watch he throws her at and quickly reads the time on it. â9:27.â
You and Robin look at each other in surprise. She raises her eyebrows, thinking what you are. âThatâs the same time our flashlights went kablooey.â
âThatâs one hell of a coincidence.â You mutter to yourself, but Steve hears you anyways and squeezes your side.Â
âThat surge of energy had to be Vecna attacking Patrick.â Nancy pieces together, tossing Eddie his watch back.Â
It isnât a comforting realization, but at least itâs information you can use. You now know where, how, and when he Vecna attacks. The only piece missing is what to do with the information you have.
Dustin continues to pace back and forth. Heâs hunched over, and when you look closer, you realize heâs scowling at his compass as if it personally offended him.
âSo now we just need to sneak into his lair in the Upside Down and drive a stake through his heart.â Max says, as if itâs the most casual sentence in the world.
You look at her like sheâs crazy. âWeâre not going to the Upside Down!â
But no one is listening to you. Instead Steve, Robin, and Max begin a philosophical debate about whether or not Vecna has a heart or if heâs a vampire.Â
âIt was a metaphor.â Max informs Steve, slight disappointment in her voice.
âA bullet should work on him, right?â Eddie asks the group.
You shake your head at him. âBullets never work.â
He stares at you, somewhat terrified. âHow⌠how do you already know that?â
âWeâve had a lot of practice.â
âThatâs actually even more upsetting to hear.âÂ
Lucas and the others start spewing creative ways to kill Vecna. Theyâre graphic and violent, but you already know that none of it will work. Youâve fought creatures from the Upside Down before; theyâre notoriously difficult to kill, oftentimes requiring fire, bullets, knives, and bear traps.Â
None of which you currently have.
Nancy knows this, too. âWe canât do any of that until we find a way into the Upside Down.â
âWhy are we all suddenly okay with going there?â You ask incredulously. Theyâre all suggesting the Upside Down as if itâs fucking Disneyland. âI mean, havenât we been trying to cut any connection to that goddamn place for the last four years?â
âWhat other option do we have, Y/N?â Nancy pushes. âYou know thereâs no other way to stop this.â
Max sighs in exasperation. âWhat we need is for El to get her powers back.â
âI miss her.â You sigh as well. Youâre worried that thereâs something wrong. Youâve called the Byersâ home a million times now, but no one is answering. Despite the weirdness between you and Jonathan, you still want him to be okay. Heâs never gone this long without talking to you.Â
And with Jonathanâs silence comes silence from El and Will, too. You hope theyâre okay as well, especially knowing that Mike is supposed to be with them this week. You figured by now that Will wouldâve called you to complain about Mikeâs obsession with El.Â
Instead all thereâs been is silence, and their silence unnerves you.
Steve voices that he also misses El, turning to Eddie to explain how she has powers, but Eddie isnât paying attention to him.Â
âHey, Hendersonâs not cursed, is he?â His eyes follow Dustinâs pacing figure, nervous.Â
âNo, but I am.â
Eddie chokes on his spit and Steve snaps his finger at you. âThatâs so not funny, Y/N. Youâre in danger.â
âMy point exactly. I feel that Iâve earned the right to joke about my demise.â You say, though you do grab his hand and squeeze it softly to voice your unsaid apology. As much as his concern warms you, you wish he didnât have any at all for you. Worry has never been kind to Steve. Trying to brighten the mood, you turn to Eddie. âDonât you agree?â
Eddie raises his hands. âIâm not a part of this.â
âBoom!â Dustinâs loud screech causes everyone to jump. He points his finger at you, a manic glint in his eyes. âBada⌠bada⌠boom!âÂ
You shove his finger out of your face. âAre you done yet?âÂ
âI was right.â Dustin is smug, the mania in his eyes has yet to settle. âSkull Rock was north.â
You want to strangle your brother. You love him, you really do, but he can be very egotistical sometimes. Heâs spent the entire conversation obsessively searching for a way to be right, rather than figure out what to do next about Vecna.Â
Heâs insane.Â
Steve throws his head back in annoyance, equally as fed up with Dustin as you are. âYouâre serious? This is Skull Rock!â He points at the giant boulder behind him. âYouâre totally, absolutely, 100% wrong. Right now!â
âThereâs literally nowhere else Skull Rock could be, Dustin.â You back Steve up.Â
Dustin smiles. âYesâŚÂ and no.â
Steve has to step away, and you canât blame him. Youâre also seconds away from bashing your head against a tree. Youâre in a forest. There are plenty to choose from.Â
âThis worked correctly when we left the Wheelersâ.â Dustin holds up his compass. âIt was correct when we got in the car on Kerley, but it started to slip the further east we went. Now itâs way off. When I was leading us here, I wasnât wrong. The compass was.â
Steve insists that the compass is merely faulty equipment and that it still makes Dustin wrong, but you start to remember another time a compass started acting up. How it almost caused the party to split apart.
El had been the one controlling the compass, leading them in circles because she hadnât wanted them near Hawkins Lab.Â
Which would meanâŚ
âIt isnât a faulty compass.â You look up at Dustin, now understanding.Â
His face splits into a proud grin. âCorrect. Lucas, do you remember what can affect a compass?â
The teen is startled by the question. Lucasâ face is masked with confusion, but suddenly everything clicks. âAn electromagnetic field.â
Robin questions what any of this means, prompting Dustin to explain what Mr. Clark told you at Willâs funeral. He explains the electromagnetic theory and how the presence of a stronger field can make a compass stop working. âSo either thereâs a super big magnet around here, orâŚâ
âThereâs a gate.â You finish, ice washing over you. The idea terrifies you, but somehow it makes perfect sense. âMaybe even multiple gates.â
Everyone looks uncomfortable with this new information, but Dustin cuts through the tension. âItâd have to be smaller, way less powerful.â
âA snack-sized gate.â Robin adds, and you appreciate that sheâs trying to make you laugh.
Steve asks how multiple gates can even be possible, and all Dustin can do is shrug. He doesnât know, but itâs the furthest youâve gotten to any semblance of an explanation. âThe last time weâve seen anything like it, it was a gate. And I hope it is, because then weâd have a way to Vecna. And a shot at freeing Y/N and Max from this curse.â
Itâs the most hopeful youâve seen Dustin all week. Heâs optimistic, endlessly proud of himself for figuring out the missing piece of the equation.Â
âOkay, but thereâs still the Eddie problem. What do we do about him?â You remind your brother.
Steve nods. âYeah, heâs still a wanted man. We canât just go hike the woods.â
Dustin is already several feet away, eager to start following the compass. Heâs so close to finally lifting the curse. Heâs going to save you. He will. âThis little capsule might be the key to saving all three of them! Max, Y/N, and Eddie.â
You donât have the heart to tell him that even if you do find a way to kill Vecna, itâd be almost impossible to clear Eddieâs name. No one else knows about the Upside Down. Legally speaking, you arenât even allowed to know about the Upside Down.Â
But Dustin bows to Eddie and pretends to tip his hat. âWhat say you, Eddie the Banished?â
Everyone turns to the older teen. Itâs a lot to ask of him. This entire time heâs been hiding, fearful of shadows and people. You wouldnât think any less of him if he declined. And yet, Eddie surprises you. âI say youâre asking me to follow you into Mordor, which if Iâm totally straight with you, I think is a really bad idea, but the Shire⌠the Shire is burning.â
Dustin bounces up and down in anticipation. You cross your arms, rolling your eyes at him, but his childish glee makes you smile anyways. Itâs cute, as much as it pains you to admit.Â
Eddie stands up. âSo Mordor it is.â
He marches towards Dustin, no ounce of hesitation within his movements. He has complete and total trust in your brother. Heâs following him into what could very well be Hell, and yet Eddie does so with a brave face. They really are close.
And Eddie has chosen to join, not run away.Â
âNo more running?â You catch his arm.
Eddie smiles at you. âNo more running.â
âWhat the hell is Mordor?â Steve cuts in, lost.
You giggle at him and grab his hand. âCâmon, Harrington. To Mordor we go.â
âÂ
Dustinâs compass leads you back to Loverâs Lake.Â
You and Steve walk quietly behind the others. Your fondest memories together are at the lake. Itâs where Steve finally asked you to be his. That night, underneath the stars, you kissed for hours and felt as if you were the only two people in the world.Â
As if reading your mind, Steve brings your hand to his lips and kisses it softly.Â
The small moment between you is ruined when Dustin suddenly starts to speed up, practically running away from the group. Eddie shouts at him to slow down and the thought of your brother alone in the woods frightens you. Pulling away from Steve, you run after him.Â
âI think weâre getting close!â Dustin calls over his shoulder, not seeing the water in front of him.
Eddie grabs the back of his hoodie and saves him before he can fall in. âWatch your step, big guy.â
âThis is confounding,â Dustin is breathless, utterly in awe.
âThereâs a gate in Loverâs Lake?â Max is skeptical.
You hum, thinking. âUnless thereâs somehow another reason for Dustinâs compass going haywire, Iâd say thereâs a gate here.â
âWhenever the Demogorgon attacked, it always left an opening.â Nancy slowly says, her eyes scanning the water as she studies it. âMaybe Vecnaâs the same way.â
Dipping the tip of your muddied mary janes into the water, you look down at it thoughtfully. âGuess thereâs only one way to find out.â
You hate the Upside Down and all that itâs taken from you. Hopper, Willâs childhood, Maxâs brother, Elâs life. You hate all the violence and pain it brought into your life. The scars that litter your skin and the nightmares that will never leave.
But Max comes first. You have to save her. It doesnât matter what itâll cost you as long as sheâs safe.
Eddie guides everyone to the boat he used to escape from Jason. Though its engine doesnât work, he reassures the group that itâll be fine. At the very least, itâll get you deep into the water. Steve helps him push it to the shoreâs edge.
Robin steps onto the boat first, using Steve and Eddieâs heads for balance as they hold the boat steady. They scoff at her, but she doesnât care. Eddie goes next, then Nancy. When you go to step inside, Dustin pulls you back.Â
âHave you lost your mind?â His hand doesnât leave your arm. âIn case youâve somehow forgotten, youâre also marked. Youâre not going anywhere near a goddamn gate.â
His voice shakes with fear for you. Your heart twists. âDustin, I havenât had any visions yet. Just the headaches. I even have my walkman on me. I promise Iâll be fine.â
âIâm coming with you.â Dustin juts his chin out, trying to appear brave before you.
But you see through him anyways. âYouâre not. I need you to stay with Max and Lucas for me, okay?â Before he can argue with you some more, you kiss the top of his head. âI love you.â
Just as Dustin canât stand the idea of losing you, you canât stand the idea of losing him, either.Â
Dustin snatches your walkman from your pocket. You lunge at him, but heâs fast. In a heartbeat heâs at his backpack, grabbing an old plastic bag, before he starts frantically wrapping your walkman within it. He ties the plastic tight around it, making it airtight.Â
âI hate what youâre doing,â Dustin gives the walkman back to you with contempt in his voice. âBut Iâm not losing you to a waterlogged walkman.â
The pressure of tears builds behind your eyelids. You love your brother endlessly. Kissing his head again, you pull him into a bone crushing hug. âYouâre never losing me.â
âI better not.â He mumbles, sinking into your embrace. âAnd I love you too, by the way.â
You laugh wetly, and Eddie takes it as his cue to finally speak. âNot to ruin this tender sibling moment, but this boat only holds like three people tops. Dustin wouldnât be able to come anyways.â
Dustin sticks his tongue out at him and Nancy extends her arm. âCompass?â
Reluctantly, your brother hands her his compass. After heâs given it to her, Steve finally turns to Dustin. He lowers his voice, trying to give him some privacy. âListen, Iâll keep Y/N safe, alright?â
Though he doesnât want to, Dustin nods. Steve is the only person that he trusts your life with. If it were anyone else, Dustin wouldâve thrown himself onto the boat and demanded he be next to you. But youâre with Steve and your walkman is safe. Thatâs all he can ask for now.Â
âYou better.â Dustin warns, but his heart isnât really in it.
Steve claps his shoulder and kicks off the shoreâs edge, sending the boat into the water. Itâs a small boat, Steve has to wrap his arms around you to fit. Youâre pressed tight against his chest while Eddie, Nancy, and Robin are squished on the other side of the boat.
âBedtime at nine, kiddos!â Robin shouts as the boat floats away, giggling.
You hit her shoulder. âBe nice, theyâre worried about us.â
She shrugs, indifferent, and starts helping Eddie steer the boat. Nancy guides them with the compass while you and Steve hold up the flashlights. Itâs eerily quiet on the lake. The only sound that infiltrates the night is the soft crash of the waves against the shore.Â
About halfway into the lake, Nancy orders Eddie and Robin to stop rowing. âWoah, woah, woah. Slow down.â
The boat comes to a stop. You shine your flashlight over the compass and watch as it spins wildly. It canât seem to decide on a direction to point in. âDefinitely not just faulty equipment.â
Nancy nods, her face grim.Â
âGuys, whatâs going on? Talk to me.â Dustinâs voice crackles through the walkie. He mustâve seen the boat stop.
âYour compass has gone from wonky to wonky with a capital âaah!ââ Robin tells him, eyes narrowed at the instrument.Â
You take the walkie from her. âI think we found the gate.â
âSteve, what are you doing?â Nancyâs concerned voice causes you to turn.
Steve has taken his shoes off and heâs already stripping his socks by the time you process what the hell heâs doing. âSteve Harrington I will drown you before I let you close to any goddamn gate.â
âSomebodyâs gotta go down and check this out, angel.â He says hastily, taking his other sock off. âUnless one of you can top being a Hawkins High swim co-captain and a certified lifeguard for three years.â
âWhat, did the swim team train you in dimension hunting?â You grab his arms, struggling against his strength to stop him. He fights back, overpowering you easily. Youâre starting to panic now. âI-Iâm not letting you down there!â
âItâs gotta be me.â Heâs speaking to you in a hushed, understanding tone. Steveâs eyes find yours, and he pleads with you to listen. âLet it be me.â
Let me save you.Â
âIâŚâ You donât want Steve to go; youâre scared youâll lose him if you do.Â
âY/N, please.âÂ
Donât make me beg for your life again.
Last summer Steve had been torn away from you by Russians. You watched as they took him from you, pried him from your grasp. The fear, the overwhelming sense of despair youâd felt back then had almost strangled you.Â
Youâve already almost lost him once.
It would kill you if it happened again. You know it would. Heâs your lifeline. Steve is the air you breathe and the flesh on your skin. Heâs your constant, your home.Â
âCome home to me, okay?â
Theyâre the same words you screamed to him the last time he was taken from you. Itâd been the only thing you could think of, the only way to encompass all that he is to you. But Steve hadnât been able to swear his oath to you. Time had run out.Â
But not tonight.
âAlways,â Steve promises.Â
Then, ignoring everyone around you, Steve pulls you into a bruising kiss. His kiss, his promise, they breathe life back into you. The assurance that heâll come back to you fills honey into your bloodstream. The taste of his lips coats your tongue in dandelion oil.Â
Someone clears their throat aggressively, not so subtly reminding you and Steve that youâre still on a boat surrounded by three other people.Â
Breaking apart, your cheeks burn when you see Eddieâs kissy face. âRomantic.â
âShut up.âÂ
You help Steve undress. Itâs intimate, tender. You would do anything for him. Pulling his sweater gently over his head, you kiss him again. âGood luck, honey. I love you.â
Steve rests his forehead against yours, breathing you in for the final time. His hands cup your face, warm and rough. âI love you too, angel.â
Eddie hands him a flashlight wrapped in a plastic bag. âHey. What Y/N said. I mean, without the love confession. Um. Good luck.â
Taking the flashlight, Steve thanks him. Robin grabs your hand, both of you needing the other for comfort. Sheâs terrified, Steve is her best friend. Nancy looks at him with a look in her eyes that you canât quite decipher.
âBe careful.â She finally tells him.Â
Steve nods, looking back at you one last time, before taking a deep breath and diving into the dark water.Â
The seconds drag on like hours. The moment Steve dives in, you feel every second heâs under the water like a knife cutting into your lungs. Your legs shake, Robinâs grip on you is so tight that it threatens to cut off circulation, but you donât let go of her.Â
âWhere we at, Wheeler?â Robin asks after what feels like a decade.Â
âClosing in on a minute.â She sees your shaking body and rests a kind hand against your shoulder. âSteve can handle it. I know he can. Heâs strong.â
You bite your nails anxiously. Blood fills your mouth. You know Nancy is trying to comfort you, but her words only make you feel worse. Steve is strong, but heâs still only human.Â
A horrifying thought crosses your mind: youâve dreamt of this before, only itâd been Billy drowning you in the pool. Your body goes numb. Tonight canât end that way.Â
Almost another minute drags on before Steveâs head miraculously resurfaces. He inhales sharply, splashing water all over you, but you donât care. Youâre leaning over the boatâs edge the second his hands reach the surface.Â
You can finally breathe again.
âSteve!â You kiss his soaked hair, grateful to feel his skin against your lips again.Â
âI found it,â he gasps out, spitting water out of his mouth. He reaches for your hand, anxious as well to feel your touch. âI-I found it.â
Robin cheers, quickly alerting Dustin that heâd been right about the gates. You go to help Steve back into the boat, but he waves you away and goes back to holding your hand. He doesnât want you getting wet, itâs cold out and you could get sick.
âIt was wild.â Steve rubs his finger over the back of your hand. Heâs smiling, adrenaline coursing through him. âItâs more a snack-sized gate than the mama gate, but still, itâs pretty damn bigââ
Suddenly heâs back underneath the water, pulled so deep below that he almost drags you down with him. You scream, shrill and terrified. Nancy and Robin rush to your side, holding you back so that you donât fall into the water as well.
Steve resurfaces again, but he must sense that this isnât the end, because he rips your hand from his. He does it to save you, to ensure you donât get taken with him. But you fight against it, you donât understand why he wants you to let go of him.Â
Steve pries your hand away. âY/Nââ
And then heâs gone.Â
Everyone screams as Steveâs body disappears into the water.Â
âSteve!â Youâre dizzy with blind fear. He had protected you. He had spent his final seconds making sure that you wouldnât get hurt, and now heâs gone.
Robinâs arms are around you, holding you back as you scream. She knows what youâre about to do. âY/N, you canâtââ
âLet go!â You throw your shoulder back, prying your arm away. She screams at you, Nancy and Eddie do as well, but youâre already tearing your sweater off.Â
Youâre going in. You donât care. Steve needs you.Â
He needs you.
The water is cold. It shocks your system. Eyes burning, you struggle to make out where Steve is. Faintly, in the dark water, you see his body being dragged down. Thereâs something twisted around his ankle, pulling him towards a red light. You can hear his muffled screams. His arms flail, bubbles escape his mouth as he struggles against it, as heâs pulled through the red haze.
Lungs burning, you will your legs to kick as hard as they can. Youâre both running out of time.Â
The closer you get to the red haze, the colder the water becomes. Your ears pop at the depth. As the murky water settles, you realize that the red that illuminates is a crack in the earthâs surface. Vines encase its edges.Â
Breaking through it, air hits your body as you fall to the ground. Your back scrapes against the rough ground beneath you, leaving you gasping for breath. You barely have time to gather your bearings before you hear Steveâs pained screams.
You stumble onto your feet, desperately searching for him.Â
What you find is Steveâs body on the ground, vines choking him as he writhes in agony, demonic bats gorging on his stomach.Â

âş ă . ⌠Favorite eaters âş ă . âŚ
(Eren Y. Armin A. Connie S.)
A/N: ugh yes girl ik the feeling ⌠im to sitting here wondering how nasty eren would eat the kittyâŚBUT ANYWAYS TYSM FOR 600!!! NEXT STOP 700!!! AHHH!
Synopsis: Aot men as your favorite eater.
ââââââââĽâââââââ
⥠Eren âĄ
Ughh omg..Eren giving you nasty head after he pissed you offâŚThe type of head that makes you run away in shame!!!
âGivin me an attitude ainât gonna get you anywhere, you know better den that.â Eren scoffed, while tossing a blunt over to you.
Oh boy how he was so undeniably wrong.
You could tell Eren was unamused with your bullshit. He wasnât taking you ignoring lightly at all.
âYou gon fix it or am I, figure it out.â he whispered in your ear. You stood on what you dished out, you werenât fixing shit.
You chuckled at him in response, how stupid he was to think you were going to pipe down.
That was until he found his way between your thighs..
One hand tangled in his brown locs and the other one holding a blunt. Best combo..
You lazily rutted against his tongue while his piercing twirled against your puffy clit.
It was so hard to look him in the eyes after he made you cum on his tongue 3 times.
âStill got an attitude baby?â
Letâs just say..you ainât had one after that.
⥠Armin âĄ
Oh..lawd. I said this once iâll say it A FUCKING AGAIN. Armin is a pussy eater expert. Heâs VERY talented in that âfieldâ..
This man has no problem eating it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Hell, he will wake up and decide heâs hungry and start going crazy.
Thatâs how your morning starts..with Armin stuck between your thighs eating it so you can wake up.
Eyes barely opened and youâre already on the verge of cumming..his way of saying âgoodmorningâ.
He so eager to do it too. Sometimes yall could just be watching netflix and he will insist on eating you out.
âWell, I mean, the show is kind of boring. Just come on, it will be quick.â Heâll beg and beg, âPlease, I know youâre tired, I can help you go to sleep faster!â
His contact name is NyQuil in yo phone! (If you know. you know .)
When he say fast..oh baby he mean fast. That tongue can move at speeds you didnât even know existed.
But his favorite time to get to munching is before you go to work.
âWe got 10 minutes Armin.â He donât need even need 10 he will make you cum in 5.
⥠Connie âĄ
Ex! Connie getting fucking wasted and coming back home and eating you till your cummin everywhereâŚ
I just know he eats it with his grillz on..I just know.
You want nasty head? Connie is your man for it. He gonna make it SLOPPY SLOPPY.
âBaby whatchu mean, we supposed to be in love..â his words slightly slur, he had a fuck boy grin plastered over his face. âstop acting like you ainât happy to see me.â
He wasnât supposed to be there and he knew that. But you couldnât stay mad at him for long, especially when he was telling you how much he missed you. âCmere baby iâve been missin you..â & âI know you mad at me lemme change that.â
if âLet my face be yo chairâ was a personâŚ
Sitting on his face is a pleasure to you and him. He gets to see his (ex) girlfriend and you get some head.
A win win in your books!
You grinding against his golden grills while his hands rub your waist up and down. âYou got such pretty moans, lemme hear em baby.â & âUh-huh, let it out mama.â
Heâs looking you dead in your eyes while doing it tooâŚ
âYou made such a mess baby. Donât worry go to sleep, ima clean it up.â UGH THIS MANâŚ.

Ramble On (Arcane)
(lee!jayce, ler!viktor)
Word Count : 6978
Summary : Apparently, Jayce has a lot he wants to tell Viktor, but only does so once heâs drunk on Viktorâs couch. In doing so, his outward love of physical affection makes Viktor realize some things about himself.
a/n : happy new years everybody! tysm for the love on the last fic, it meant sm to me <3 i hope yall enjoy this one bc i really liked writing it. lee!jayce is a treasure and im holding him dear to my heart rn.
this is a tickle fic! not nsfw but the ending is suggestive, so don't like don't read! :D
â
Jayce cannot be serious right now.
âJust this once? Please, Viktor. That last gala made me feel like aâ like a dissected lab rat. They had their hands all over me, trying toâŚpick me apart and figure out my game,â Jayce cringed, throwing his hands to the side in exasperation, âIâm a scientist, not some corrupt politician looking to exploit. I just feel so out of my leagueâŚâ
Viktor nodded in understanding, his insides fighting against the sympathy he felt for this man. Viktor hated those galas with everything in him. Heâs been to only two so far, right at the start of their partnership, and it was hell.Â
They were exactly the way Jayce described, the way it made you feel like an object to be inspected upon by those giving you the funds for your work. Like you had to let them look at you the way they do, because in some round-about way you almost owe them the right.
Itâs horrible. And now Jayce is begging, pleading with Viktor to go to another with him.Â
Viktorâs not even sure what difference itâll make that heâs there. Most people there always look at him like heâs some wall standing in the way of the Golden Boy. Jayce is always pulled away and prodded at while Viktorâs left to sip on his champagne and watch as Jayce shoots âhelp meâ looks his way.Â
But tonight, Jayce seems desperate. The last one mustâve been pretty bad if heâs actually begging Viktor to come. He never forgets to at least ask Viktor if heâs changed his mind and wants to attend before leaving, but this time he looks like heâs about to get on his knees and clasp his hands together.
Viktor grimaced, looking up at Jayce from his office chair in the lab. âYou really want me to go that bad?â
Jayce sighed with a tired nod, âYes. I just need your moral support. I feel better when youâre there.â
âJayce, Iâve only been twice.â
âYeah, and they were the best ones Iâve been to,â he said sincerely, before putting his hands on Viktorâs shoulders and squeezing. âI am asking you a favor. Partner to partner. Iâll owe you one.â
Viktor stuck his tongue in his cheek and rolled it in thought. Jayce wonât stop looking him in the eyes like that, all wide and sad and puppy-ish.Â
âWhen did I get so weak-willed?â
âOkay fine. Fine. Butââ Viktor stuck a finger in Jayceâs chest just as the man started to smile all bright. âYou owe me. I will not forget this.â
Jayceâs eyes were like stars, âOh thank you, V, thank you. I wonât forget this either, trust me. Iâll buy you all the sweet milk your stomach can take for this,â he cheered, looking like he was about to jump up and down in glee.
Viktor sighed, pushing himself up off the chair with his cane. âYes yes, all the sweet milk money can buy,â he pat Jayce on the shoulder as he walked towards the lab doors. âIâm going to get freshened up in my room, so I will, ehâŚmeet you there, I suppose?â
Jayce smiled hard as he ran to open the door for Viktor in gratitude. âYou got it, partner.â
â
Just as Viktor suspected. Hell on earth.
Itâs so crowded and noisy, the ballroom crawling with wealthy socialites that reeked of expensive perfume and alcoholâ so much alcohol.
Viktor almost wonders if there was a pre-game party before this, because the amount of times theyâve had some rich lady nearly stumble over to grip Jayce on the arm and slur weird little flirts and compliments his way was staggering. Jayce looked like he was going to crawl out of his skin the whole night with the way these people were crowding him like ants to a cookie.
As the night went on, Viktor could tell it was getting to Jayce worse and worse. And not just by how visibly stiff and sweaty heâd gotten, either.Â
Jayce was drinking way more than Viktor thought he would.
Glass after glass, Jayce was downing as much alcohol as he could pour down his gullet. At one point Viktor even tried to insinuate he slow down a little and fucking relax, but it was no use. Jayce just rolled his eyes like a teenager and took another glass off the nearest tray he could find.
At least he doesnât look so out of place, seeing as nearly everyone here was on the brink of being trashed. It was surprising to watch all these high-life classy Pilties get their drink on like this, but Viktor couldnât say it wasnât a little bit amusing.Â
He thought after he left Zaun that heâd seen about the end of getting to watch people stumble and trip over their own feet at a function, slurring their words and laughing too loud at nothing. He supposed it wasnât the worst way to spend an evening.
But then, Jayce walked back over to him with this look in his eyes. Viktorâs brow furrowed in concern.
âIs everything alright?â
Jayce groaned, before throwing his head onto Viktorâs shoulder and mumbling into his shirt. âWânna go home.â
Oh shit. Jayce is drunk. Really drunk.
Viktor patted him on the back, looking over his shoulder to make sure no one could see the Man of Progress pouting like a child into his partner's neck. âI concur. Butâ youâre coming home with me. Iâm not letting you walk home alone like this, but my leg canât make both trips.â
Jayce giggled into his neck, and his breath gave Viktor goosebumps. âSleepoverrrr!â
Viktor sighed, repositioning Jayce to stand straight as he led them toward the exit. âI hope you know that whatever weird things you say tonight, I wonât let you live it down.â
âMânot gonna say anything weird. Youâre justâ youâre too judgemental,â Jayce spoke too slow, a little slurred, and Viktor couldnât help but grin.
â
Oh Viktor has so much to tease Jayce for in the morning. He can hardly wait.
On their walk home, Jayce couldnât keep his mouth shut. He was going on and on about how smart, how brilliant, how perfect Viktor was as his partner. Viktor couldnât keep the blush off his face if he tried, but luckily Jayce was a little too out of it to notice.Â
Jayce told him how good he looked in his gala outfit, that it fit him perfectly around the waist and the âbutt area,â as he put it. He confessed that he started putting sweet milk in his own coffee thanks to Viktor, and he loves it, despite how much he teases Viktor for his sweet tooth.Â
And the closer they got to Viktorâs apartment door, the less Jayce could hold in his excitement about their little âsleepover.â
âGonna make you play Twister with me,â Jayce joked with a giggle.
âHas anyone ever told you how much of a lightweight you are?â Viktor said as he stuck the key into his door, turning it to click.Â
âYeeeah, they told me that a lot at the academy,â Jayce smiled, walking in after Viktor and gasping. âOh it looks so nice in here!â
âYouâve been here, Jayce. Not much, but you have.â Viktor rolled his eyes, placing his keys on the table and walking toward the open area kitchen next to the living room. âIâm going to get you some water. Go sit on the couch, you overgrown toddler.â
âMânot a toddler, I have a degreeâŚâ Jayce argued, doing as he was told and plopping onto the couch. He ran his hand over the cushionâs fabric, âYou got new stuff since last time. Oh, your couch is so soft.â
Viktor opened the fridge and grabbed his water filter before reaching for the cabinet of cups. âWell, our job pays pretty nicely. I figured I could treat myself to a few furniture items here and there.â
Viktor made his way back to the living area, handing Jayce his cup and sitting next to him on the couch. It wasnât even 11pm yet, so Viktor still felt wide awake. His hours have been so screwed up recently thanks to his many nights spent sleeping in the lab, so he knows that if Jayce doesnât get to sleep soon, Viktorâs probably on babysitting duty for the rest of the night.
WhichâŚdidnât sound so bad, to be honest. Viktorâs only seen Jayce drunk like this a handful of times, but that was usually when Viktor had a few more drinks in him himself.
When Jayce gets drunk, he gets silly.
Even sober, Viktorâs found himself chuckling at Jayceâs antics all night. Jayce is far from a stuck-up person, but heâs usually a tad more reserved with his playfulness, especially around Viktor.
Heâs sure itâs nothing personal, Viktor can be a bit of a stickler about play in the lab, but he really likes getting to see this side of Jayce with a clear head now that theyâre somewhere more private.
So watching Jayce giggle around the rim of the glass at literally nothing was much more amusing to him than it was annoying. He knows how embarrassed Jayce is going to be in the morning, and it only fuels the fire to keep this going.
Viktor canât wait to see Jayce burn red when he recounts all the embarrassing things heâs said and done over the course of the last hour.
âWhatâs got your giggle-box turned over?â Viktor teased, bringing his feet up on the cushions and laying back against the arm of the couch so he could watch Jayce.
Then, realizing how weird that probably was, quickly snatched a book from the coffee table to pretend-read just so he isnât too obvious with his staring.
Jayce snickered, placing the glass down on the table. âI dunno. Youâre just, youâre being so nice to me. Itâs funny.â
Viktor furrowed his brow with a smirk, âWhen am I not nice to you? Iâm a delight.â
Jayce laughed a little harder at that. âNooo you are nice. Youâre super nice, I didnât mean that,â he reiterated poorly, only making Viktor suppress a snicker of his own.
And before Viktor realized what Jayce was doing, the manâs head was suddenly laying down in Viktorâs lap, Jayceâs eyes peering at him from under the book.Â
Viktorâs brows shot up in surprise. âOh. Well hello there.â
âHi,â Jayce smiled before his expression quickly turned to a little pout. He groaned as he grabbed the book in Viktorâs hands and tried prying it from his grip, but Viktor wouldnât let go. Jayce groaned, âUugh, pay attention to me.â
Okay, Viktor couldnât not laugh at that. âAre you serious?â
âYes. Super serious. I wanna talk, I like talking!â Jayce whined, still pulling on the book in Viktorâs hands. Viktor kept his grip tight, because it was far too amusing to watch this strong, bulky man fail to get a good tug in their little scuffle. âViktor câmon!â
âYouâve got to try a little harder than that toâ aH! Hah- no, noho- Jayce, do not-!â Viktorâs voice pitched up without his permission, a choked off giggle escaping him as Jayce snuck his hands up over his own head to tickle at Viktorâs sides.
Alright. Maybe Jayce gets a little too silly when heâs drunk.
Viktorâs elbows crashed down to cover the area, letting the book fall off the couch without thinking, but that didnât stop Jayce.
Now that he was latched on, he wasnât letting go, and Viktor knew if he kept this up, heâd be giggling like a lunatic in no time.
Jayce grinned wide and proud. âHah! Youâre ticklish!â He teased, fingers pinching into Viktorâs sides with much more precision than they should with both the awkward angle and his clear inebriation. âI could tell. You look ticklish.â
Viktor shook his head, âWhahat does that evenâ?! gAh- okay, okahay! Enough!â He was full on giggling now, which is ridiculous because Jayce is supposed to be the one embarrassing himself right now, not Viktor.
Actually. What a wonderful idea.
Viktor gathered enough willpower to push his arms away from his sides, quickly diving his own fingers into Jayceâs very exposed armpits and digging in, albeit a little clumsily.
And yet, Jayce still screamed like a girl.
He shot his elbows down to his sides, immediately falling into a bout of ticklish laughter. His head leaned back and exposed his throat that bobbed through his cackling, legs gently kicking at the arm of the couch, more playful than anything.
âNohohoho! Viktor!â Jayce cackled, and Viktor couldnât help but snicker incredulously at the ridiculous situation heâs found himself in.
Heâs got his fingers stuffed between Jayceâs arms, wiggling them into any muscle and bone he can that he knew would be sensitive on himself.
Viktorâs never found himself in the situation of having to tickle someone to make them stop tickling him before. Actually, now that he thinks about it, this might be his first time really tickling someone. Heâs poked and pinched at Jayce a few times in the lab when heâs going about his daily routine of teasing Jayce til he turns pink, though heâd hardly count that as real tickling.
Heâs teased Jayce for his ticklishness for a while now, ever since that day his elbow poked a little too funny into Jayceâs rib and made the man squeak. Of course, Viktor couldnât help but take advantage, constantly reminding Jayce that, âyes, I remember, and technically speaking, I could use this information against you anytime I want.â
But really tickling? Burying his fingers into the flesh and digging there with enough gentleness to make Jayce laugh the way he is right now with his head thrown back into Viktorâs lap, caught up in breathless laughter and little squirms he couldnât controlâŚ
...Yeah, this is certainly a first.
Though, Viktorâs not complaining. Itâs quite hard to beat a view as cute as this one.
âPlehease!â Jayce begged through his giggling, shaking his head side to side. He wiggled helplessly on Viktorâs lap, but still kept his weight almost entirely off Viktorâs bad leg.
This man is so sweet itâs giving Viktor a toothache.
âWhat are you begging for? You started this, you were practically asking for it,â Viktor teased, grinning when he saw how flushed Jayce looked at his comment.
His fingers found a spot right near the top of Jayceâs ribs, and the man under him jolted with a cackle.Â
âI did nohot!â Jayce argued pitifully, still doing nothing to push Viktor away and stop his assault.
If anything, it almost looked like he was trying hard not to stop him. His fists were balled up, occasionally gripping onto his own shirt like he needed something to grab onto. He was justâŚtaking it.
Oh this could be very interesting if Viktorâs current theory proves correct.
Suddenly, Viktor stopped the wiggling of his fingers, keeping them still and motionless underneath the manâs arms. Jayce panted through his remaining giggles, twitching like he was expecting it to start up again at any point.
His smile never left, wide and bright as ever. Viktor could feel the manâs anticipation under his fingertips.
And Jayce looked positively giddy with it.
Viktor tilted his head in curiosity as he looked down at Jayce in his lap, his face upside-down from this angle. âAre you having fun down there?â He asked, taking advantage of Jayceâs loose tongue.
Jayceâs giggles just started anew, and Viktor didnât have to move a muscle to prompt it.
âStohop.â
âI did stop. Almost thirty seconds ago, I might add.â
Jayceâs nose scrunched up from his snickering, âI take it back. You are not nice.â
âOh?â Viktorâs voice tilted, giving the fingers under Jayceâs arm an experimental curl.
Jayce jerked with giddy panic at the feeling, âNoho wait! Youâre nice, you're nice, youâre so niceâ! Plehease!
Viktor shook his head fondly, âAre you actually this ticklish or are you just drunk?âÂ
âMmmhm, probably bothâ Jayce smiled wide, looking through his lashes up to Viktor. They both just stared at each other for a moment, Jayce with excited anticipation in his eyes, and ViktorâŚwell, he could only assume he looked about as smitten as he felt. Again, hopefully Jayce was too drunk to notice.
Then Jayce squirmed with a hummed, mischievous giggle in his throat, before lifting his arms and wrapping them around Viktorâs waist, locking his own fingers together behind his slender back. He was looking at Viktor with a little challenge in his eyes, as if saying, âbet you wonât.â
Viktorâs own eyes widened, his jaw slacking in fond shock with a curl to the corner of his lips. Jayce cannot be serious.
âIs this an invitation, Jayce?â He asked with a skeptical chuckle, lifting his fingers to hover just above Jayceâs armpits and wiggle teasingly. At the sight, Jayce giggled hard and shut his eyes back up, his elbows flinching at the thought.
âNoooo,â he said, his smile betraying his words.âJustâŚgettinâ comfy.â
Viktor hummed, âCould you open your eyes then?â
Jayceâs eyes scrunched tighter. âNo way.â
âWhy not? You donât like the view?â
âOh shut it, you know thatâs not why,â Jayce huffed, the grin just unable to leave his face. âNo, mâjust comfy. And if I canât see you thenâŚâ he pulled his lips in like his next words were crawling out of him against his will. â...then, you can just do whatever you want. I dunno.â
Oh, Viktor is going to eat this man alive.
âSo thatâs what this is then?â
âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
âI think you might.â
âNope. Nuh uh. Shut up.â
âYouâre telling me to shut up? In your position?â
Jayce threw his head to the side bashfully, his lips pressed together on a shy smile. âHm?â
Viktor snickered, âYou are actually asking for it. Oh youâre going to hate yourself for this in the morning, arenât you?â
Jayce snickered, burying his face into the crook of his elbow, âI think Iâll just be glad I got it over with.â
âOh? This is something youâve wanted for a while then?â Viktor asked through a grin, before bringing down his index fingers to slowly, teasingly scribble into Jayceâs pits (because god, looking at Jayce like this, all inviting and practically begging for it, waiting any longer to strike wouldâve probably killed them both).Â
Jayce yipped, his elbows jerking inward and nearly covering his entire face. The fabric of Jayceâs dress shirt created a smooth glide under Viktorâs fingernails that he was sure felt torturous.
His arms shook with the effort to keep them locked behind Viktorâs back, but somehow he stayed put.
Not, of course, without giggling his head off at the lightest of touches under his arms, his heels digging into the couch cushions.
âMahaybe-!â He managed through light, breathy laughter. His giggling sounded almost nervous, like he knew just how much worse this could get for him.
Viktor adjusted his jaw on his smile, throwing a look to the side like he couldnât believe what he was seeing. He knew Jayce was a massive lover of physical affection, but good god, Viktor didnât realize how much heâd like giving it to him.
So Viktor looked back down, getting into character. Heâs never really tickled someone before, but heâs more than happy to learn with Jayce as his willing subject.
âThereâs no way youâre going to be able to keep your arms up. Iâd bet money on it.â
âYou hahaveâ aHk-! Suhuch little faith in mehe!â Jayce joked, doing a much better job keeping composure under these circumstances than Viktor ever could.
Ignoring his comment, Viktor moved his hands lower on Jayceâs torso to pinch at his ribs meticulously, plucking at each one at the top. He got quite a rise out of the way Jayceâs giggles raised in pitch and panic, his legs kicking on their own accord.
Jayceâs desperate smile looked like it was going to burst at the seams.
âOhoh no fahair!â Jayce whined, his eyebrows pinched together from frantic laughter. His face was so flushed, hair a tousled mess from his squirming, and Viktor felt himself growing warm at the sight.Â
Shit. Viktor really likes this.
âHow is this not fair? You knew I was going to tickle you, so why does it matter where I do it?â He asked, and though he used a teasing tone, he was genuinely asking.Â
Weirdly, now that heâs realized how much fun this was, Viktor wants to approach this from a scientistâs perspective. Test theories, make conclusions, and above all, experiment.
âBecahahause!â Jayce threw his head to the other side, like heâs trying to block his face from all angles. âItâ gghaAHha noo!â itâs wohorse!â
âHow, Jayce?â Viktor paused his fingers, keeping them poised sharply against Jayceâs top rib. Jayce pouted, letting out another one of his famous whines. âI want you to tell me.â
âUuugh,â Jayce groaned, looking pained in the best way that Viktorâs prying this information out of him. âItâs justâŚwhen you get all pinchyâŚit feels worse.â
Viktor hummed. âWorse in a bad way?â
Jayce just stared back at him with pinched lips like heâd been caught.
So Viktor grinned. âAh. Worse in a good way then, hm?â
Jayceâs eyes shut tight, his mouth spreading into a bashful smile that looked impossible to fight back.
âSo if I were to, say, do this-â Viktor pinched harsher at Jayceâs ribs, staying near the top and really letting his fingers dig in between the bone, practically vibrating into the flesh.
Jayce immediately arched through a cackle, his chest bouncing with the force of it. His face looked gleefully desperate.
âNoho donât-!â
â-It would tickle worse than if I were to do this-?â He switched tactics quicker than Jayce could process the feeling, his fingertips softening along the ribs and skittering over the smooth fabric of Jayceâs shirt.
He could still feel the bones under his fingers through the thin fabric, feeling the way Jayceâs body jumped underneath him, and the sensation made Viktorâs stomach flip in excitement.
The change in tickling made Jayce stumble over his laughter, keening through the feeling as his laughter morphed from something deep and desperate, to a lighter, bubblier sound that made his ears turn pink.
âGghk-hah- aha shihit!â Jayce could barely speak, so visibly flustered by Viktorâs teasing. It made Viktor feel something powerful yet caring surge through him. He was controlling Jayceâs reactions, forcing torturous sensations upon him and pulling humiliating sounds from his throat, and Jayce was loving every second of it. âIâ I cahanât!â
Viktor cooed, âAw, but you are Jayce Talis. You can do anything you put your mind to, no?â The words flowed like butter off his tongue, the teasing coming so natural to him. Heâs spent so long messing with Jayce in their lab, itâs like he knows the exact buttons to press now that heâs got him hysterical under his fingers.
And when Viktor began moving his hands inward, fingers spidering towards Jayceâs bouncing stomach, it seemed that was Jayceâs breaking point. With a frantic shriek he shot his arms down to protect his middle, his knees folding into himself as he quickly curled onto his side, still on Viktorâs lap.Â
Viktorâs brows shot up in surprise at such a reaction, biting his lip on an amused smile. He brought his hands up to comfort a still-giggling Jayce, smoothing over his shoulder as he caught his breath in Viktorâs lap.
Viktor clicked his tongue. âIâm guessing the stomach is an off-limits spot, then?â
Jayce huffed a chuckle into Viktorâs thigh. Even drunk, heâs kept his weight entirely off Viktorâs bad leg through the whole ordeal, and even now brings a hand down to massage into the flesh the way he knows soothes Viktorâs aching muscles. Viktor felt his heart clench at such a caring action, wanting to lean down and kiss all over Jayceâs head and the mess of hair that covered it.
âNot off-limits,â Jayce started, his words mumbled into the fabric of Viktorâs pants. âThereâs just no way I can keep my arms up if youâre there. Itâs pretty bad.â
âNoted,â said Viktor, âIâll remember to get you nice and secure next time.â
Jayce shot his head up, looking at Viktor with wide, nervous eyes. âN-Next time?â
God, Viktor wanted to just squeeze Jayce until he popped. âWhat, you didnât like it? You looked like you were having a ball down there.â
Jayce flashed another shy, closed-mouth smile, his eyes darting away. âWell, Iâ I just thought that it wasnât something thatâŚwell, something that you would wanna do again,â Jayce shrugged, âYouâre not usually playful like that.â
And heâs right, usually Viktor wouldnât indulge himself with such an outward display of childishness. Heâll tease, oh how he teases, but getting too physical always felt like some barrier heâd have to forge a long path toward tearing down.
Turns out, that barrier was a lot easier to cross when Jayce made it so clear how badly he wanted it from Viktor.
âWell,â Viktor started, smoothing his thumb over Jayceâs shoulder and feeling warm when Jayce leaned into his palm, âYou seemed to be enjoying yourself so much. I expected you to push me away, and thenâŚyou didnât. Once I realized you seemed to like it, I found myself enjoying it too,â he said, before chuckling softly, âAs odd as it may be.â
Suddenly, the top of Viktorâs hand was enveloped with Jayceâs own (Viktor knew his hands were smaller than his partnerâs, but good god, it pretty much wrapped entirely around his own), and it didnât seem like Jayce even realized what he was doing. He was just savoring every bit of affection Viktor gave him, and indulged himself as he pleased.
As it seemed, Viktor could learn a thing or two from Jayce, and he really, really wanted to.bxÂ
âYou caught me, I liked it,â Jayce mumbled, his words slurred and sleepy as he made himself comfy over Viktorâs lap, leaning his weight on the good leg. âButâŚI just really like when youâre like this. Itâs fun.â
Viktor was glad Jayceâs eyes had slipped shut, because the look on his face had to be painfully obvious. He felt so warm, his insides turning gooey when Jayce snuggled the side of his face into Viktorâs thigh.Â
Jayce is so honest. Too honest. Viktor loves and envies him for it so deeply. He canât understand how Jayce is able to roll those words off his tongue like itâs the easiest thing in the world to do, like it isnât painful to admit.
Viktor wants to learn how for Jayce. Heâs a smart man, they both are. Maybe itâs not as hard as he made it out to be in his head.
He turned his palm up to squeeze Jayceâs, exhaling shakily when Jayce squeezed back gently, tired. âI like when youâre like this too, Jayce,â Viktor practically whispered, hoping his kind words were the last thing Jayce heard before falling asleep.Â
â
Jayce woke up to the smell of coffee.
And just as soon as that warm smell hit him, a pounding pain behind his eyes seemed to hit even harder.
Jayce groaned. As he slipped his eyes opened, he realized the sun had a fucking vendetta against him this morning, its rays shining through the window directly into his eyes and going straight to that source of pain in his head. He threw his arm over his face with another groan.Â
âI think Iâm dying.â
âWell good morning to you too.â
Jayce huffed, suddenly remembering where he was. âCoffeeâs on?â
He heard a little hum of confirmation from the kitchen, slumping further into the cushions. Jayce sighed, âI donât think I even drank that much last night. I donât know why I feel like actual death incarnate.â
âOh no, you definitely drank too much. You had some of the punch, yes?â
Jayce peeked over the arm of the couch, sparing Viktor a furrowed brow. âYeah?â
Viktor smirked, grabbing the coffee pot to pour into their respective mugs. âI suspect it may have been spiked. Everyone that touched that bowl went home slung over someone elseâs shoulder.â
Jayce buried his forehead in his arm with a frustrated sigh. âThat explainsâŚso much.â
He heard the familiar click of a cane coming his way, lifting his head to meet Viktorâs gaze with a tired chuckle. Viktor handed him his coffee before seating himself down next to Jayce, blowing the steam off the top of his own cup.
âSoâŚâ Viktor started, not even glancing at Jayce as he grinned down the rim of his coffee. â...tickling, hm?â
Jayce choked on the coffee he had been trying to swallow down.
Viktor took Jayceâs cup and sat it down on the table to pat his back through the coughing fit, that calm and collected look on his face never wavering. Jayce felt himself burning to the touch.
âIâ uh, I donâtâ heh, it wasnât like thatââ
âJayce,â Viktor commanded Jayceâs gaze with his voice. Jayceâs eyes were wide, biting down on his lip in embarrassment.
Viktor just smiled warmly. âI know how you are about physical affection. Iâve received more hugs from you in the past few months than I probably have in the last decade.â
Jayce nodded to show he was listening, but felt himself sadden a bit at the passing comment. How could anyone not want to hug Viktor?
Sure, heâs a bit bony, and is maybe a little intimidating when you first meet him, but Jayce had Viktor in a tight embrace within their first few months of acquaintance. Jayce canât help but throw an arm around him any chance he can get. Heâs justâŚtouchable.
Still, Viktor continued, âAnd though Iâm not one to usually give out such affections myself, you seemedâŚvery happy last night.â
He twisted his lips, thinking of how to word it. âIâm unsure if the whole tickling thing specifically was just a manifestation of your intoxicated state, or if itâs something you also crave when youâre sober,â he tapped a nervous finger against the mug. âNonethelessâŚI found myself enjoying it as well.â
Viktor shrugged, but looked a bit embarrassed at the admittance. âIâm sure you donât remember details, but you told me last night that you had been hoping for something like that to happen for a while now,â he said, giving Jayce a hard, concentrated stare that made him nearly shiver. âWas it just my offering of physical affection that you wanted? OrâŚthe specifics of how I handed it out last night?â
God. Jayce isnât sure whether to be elated or mortified by how scientific Viktor was handling this.
He loves how Viktorâs accent curls around the words and makes them sound so clinical and professional, but he could also feel how hot his face was burning at the sound and was frankly a bit too embarrassed to answer in the same dignified manner.
âUmâŚâ he started, cringing at the sound of his own wavering voice. âSort ofâŚboth? I think?â
Viktor nodded, his face set in concentration on Jayceâs. Jayce felt so observed, and it made eye contact very hard.
âI do like the, uhâŚtheâ yâknow-â
âThe tickling?â
Jayce huffed, bringing a hand to his face. âYeah. That.â
Viktor grinned. âYou struggle to say the word?â
âIn this context? Yeah. A lot.â
Viktor just pinched his lips on a smile. âPlease, continue.â
Jayce sighed, âSo, I do like that part specifically. Like, kind of a lot.â He shrugged shyly, bringing a knee to his chest to lean on, âBut, youâre right, it isn't just that. IâŚdo really like when you touch me in any way,â he said, before stammering, âWaitâ that sounds weird but, you know what I mean.â
Viktor nodded once, âI do.â
Jayce exhaled like heâd been holding his breath, picking at the fabric of his pants anxiously. Shit, he never changed clothes last night. His shirtâs probably wrinkled to high hell right now. He must look like a mess.
Jayce ran fingers through his hair and looked down at the cushion of the couch. How is he supposed to tell Viktor how much he wants to touch him, to be touched by him, to feel every fabric of Viktorâs being under his fingertips and have the same done to him, without it sounding as romantic as it feels?Â
He doesnât want to scare Viktor off by admitting how heâs felt about him for the pastâŚgod, who knows how long by now, but with the way this conversation is going, it doesnât seem like heâs getting out of it any time soon.
Jayce bit the inside of his lip. âI do remember last night. Not every detail, but I do remember bits and pieces,â he glanced at Viktor through his eyelashes. He looked so focused on Jayce, hanging onto his every word. âYou seemed like you were having fun too.â
Viktorâs expression remained unchanged, but Jayce swore he saw his cheeks flush. âI was. Iâve told you that, you putz,â he taunted, the corner of his lips twitching upward. âYouâre trying to change the subjectâ that subject being you.â
Jayce chuckled, crossing his arms and leaning back against the arm of the couch. âOkay, fine. What do you wanna know then?â
Viktor took a sip from his coffee, eyeing Jayce down over the mug the entire time. Jayce suppressed a squirm at the lingering gaze. When he swallowed, he sat the mug down in one swift movement, before leaning back himself.
âIs it a kink thing?â
Jayce thought his own eyes were going to bulge out of his head, his body suddenly running dangerously hot. Okay, now heâs squirming.
âUhââ he stammered, chuckling nervously. âI mean, I guess it can be? Iâve neverâŚtried it like that before or anything, but I donât think Iâd be opposed.â He scratched the back of his neck just to do something, anything with his hands.Â
Viktor just kept watching him, and the realization that Jayce might be implying something with his words made him fumble.
âBut that wasnâtâ thatâs not how I felt about it last night, if you were wondering. Not that I wouldnâtâ I meanâŚgod, I can feel how red my face is right now, you are the worst.â
Viktor couldnât hold back a chuckle at that. He leveled his stare with a smile. âIâm not sorry. Itâs quite amusing to see the Man of Progress squirm through such a confession,â he said, before giving a little shrug like this conversation wasnât picking Jayce apart at the seams. âAnd, for the record, if it had been a kink thingâŚI wouldnât have been opposed.â
Jayceâs mouth hung open slightly in shock. âWhaâAre you serious?â
Viktor smirked. âIs that a problem?â
âNo, no, of course itâs not! Iâm just⌠a little surprised, is all. That youâd be willing to, yâknow, do something like that with me,â he said, greatly underexaggerating the feelings coursing through him right now.Â
If the butterflies in his stomach were real, they probably wouldâve eaten through Jayceâs body and infested the entire house by now. He can feel his own heart hammering in his chest, and heâs trying very hard not to get shaky.Â
Jayce bit his lip. âI mean. Iâm not saying no, but maybeâŚmaybe sometime in the future is all.âÂ
No one has ever known this about him. Heâs open about his love of affection, sure, but the tickling part? For some reason, that had always been kept close to his chest, something too vulnerable and embarrassing to say out loud.Â
So for Viktor to know, and be so clearly fascinated by it, was eating Jayce alive. Heâs loving every ounce of this humiliating attention, but he doesnât know how much more he can take of not having Viktor wreak havoc over every sensitive spot heâs hidden for so long.
Viktor hummed, setting his cup down on the coffee table. He wasnât looking at Jayce anymore, and his demeanor seemed almostâŚnervous now.
He was biting the inside of his lip the same way he does when heâs cutting it close on an important deadline, and his thumb tapped impatiently on the knee of his bad leg. And Viktor being nervous made Jayce feel nervous, almost hearing the thrum of his own heartbeat in his ears.
Viktor clicked his tongue. âI think itâd be stupid not to say something at this point,â he started, and Jayce felt his heart stop when Viktor leveled an anxious glare his way.
âLast night made me realize that, though I donât like giving affection away to just anyoneâŚâ he smiled something warm and sweet. â...I like giving it to you. When I do, your face lights up something vicious, yet calm in me. I enjoy the feeling very much, and I can only hope you feel the same.â
Jayce felt his breath leave him. He smiled hard, reaching a hand out to grip Viktorâs. Viktor chuckled at the gesture, and squeezed back.
âI do, V. So much, you donât even know,â Jayce breathed, scooting close to gather as much warmth from the man as he could. He tucked his face into Viktorâs neck, feeling light knowing Viktor enjoyed this just as much as he did. âAnything with you makes me happy.â
Viktor huffed a small laugh through his nose, bringing his free hand up to smooth up and down Jayceâs back. âYou knowâŚâ he started, leaning his head back to look at Jayce properly, âIâm quite glad youâre such a lightweight, otherwise I donât know if weâd have ever gotten to this point.â
Jayce snickered into Viktorâs neck, making the man scrunch slightly on a smile. âYeah, me too.âÂ
And before he could stop it, Jayce found himself kissing softly at Viktorâs neck, slow and nervous but still so sweet with intent. He heard Viktor gasp, his head scrunching slightly against Jayceâs own.
âAhâ Jayce-â
âIs this okay?â Jayce whispered, his voice breathy with nerves. He kissed again, this time even softer and more hesitant with his question in mind.
And Viktor giggled.
Jayce smiled against the skin, âWhat are you laughing at?â
Viktor pushed at Jayceâs head, his own voice light with joy, âYour stubble is dreadful Jayce, stop!â
âOh itâs dreadful is it? Bet youâre just full of dread right nowââ Jayce grinned, very purposefully rubbing his mouth and chin all over the sensitive expanse of Viktorâs skin, smiling even bigger when Viktor fell into choked giggles and squeaks he was clearly trying to contain. âWhatâs wrong, V? Canât take your own medicine?â
âYou are a menace!â Viktorâs voice was so pitchy, Jayce couldnât stop smiling if he tried. He couldnât help but nip gently at the spot under Viktorâs ear, squeezing his arms around Viktorâs waist affectionately when the man cackled and pushed against him half-heartedly.
âNo-! Horrible! You areâahaha-!â Viktor melted into helpless giggles when Jayceâs fingers started pinching at his sides, soft and sweet and torturous. âF-Fuhucker!â
Then, Viktor seized Jayceâs wrists with a sudden urgency, and Jayce pulled off with a small look of concern. âSorry, I justâ I thought-â
âYou are fine, Jayce,â Viktor panted through a little leftover smile. He brought his face closer to Jayceâs, so close the tips of their noses brushed, and Jayceâs lashes fluttered. Viktor grinned all smug, âI just figured, you may wish to kiss properly instead.â
Jayce breathed, nodding like an eager puppy, âYeah. Yes, please.â
Viktor hummed in agreement. Then, finally, he closed the gap with intimate softness, brushing his lips teasingly against Jayce with a little breath of his own. Once Viktor had their lips locked together, he pushed forward with a sudden neediness Jayce had never seen in him.
Jayce made a pitiful sound into the kiss, letting Viktor lead their way through it. Viktor cupped his hand around Jayceâs cheek, and the other man eagerly placed his own on top, desperate to feel any and all of Viktorâs warmth.
And Jayce couldnât help it, he was completely unable to keep quiet about just how much he was enjoying this.Â
He panted little gasps when they broke apart, moaned when Viktor finally let his tongue slip through and grazed Jayceâs teeth. He felt Viktorâs hand slip up his shirt, and with how hot everything had been getting, was expecting a different kind of touch than the one he got.
Fingers curled softly at the back of Jayceâs ribs, wiggling soft and featherlight at the sensitive skin. Jayce made the most humiliating sound into Viktorâs mouth, a noise between a giggle and a moan, and Viktor hummed all smug in return. The sound made Jayceâs mouth tingle as his back instinctively twitched away from the soft touch, though Viktorâs fingers always followed.
âV-Vikââ
âYouâre so sensitive, Jayce. Ticklish,â Viktor drawled, and Jayce felt himself shiver at the word. âAnd, if youâd allow meâŚâ he leaned into Jayceâs ear, making sure his lips brushed feathersoft against the skin just to make Jayce tremble. âIâd like to find every spot that makes you tick.â
Jayce felt his entire body flush red hot.
âYou are way too good at this.â
Viktor just kissed him again, mumbling into his lips, âI remember something about you owing me? Does this ring any bells?â
Jayce whined through a smile, hiding his face into the crook of Viktorâs neck. âYou are evil. Pure, pure evil.â
Viktor chuckled, pinching his fingers into Jayceâs ribs, then not moving his fucking fingers. Jayce felt like a live wire, entirely tense and way, way too excited.Â
âYes, yes. So evil,â he teased, crooking his fingers just slightly to make Jayce whine through a giggle. âNow. Try to stay still, yes?â
Jayce was never going to live this down.Â
Heâs never been happier to owe anyone anything in his entire life.

Headcanon and maybe idea for u if youâd like <33. I feel like Jimmy would like seeing his s/o cry during sex, not because he likes seeing you in pain necessarily (unless..) BUT because he can kiss/lick away your tears and it makes him feel like he has power over you thatâs not necessarily making him âbadâ?. Like âlook how good I am, youâre all weak and emotional and Iâm youâre big strong man who can make you happyâ. Idek what this is called itâs a power play thing for him. Irl he canât cope with any of his problems so he can pretend youâre the messed up one and heâs better than you and you âneedâ him or whatever
A/n: haii anon, yall are getting creative with yalls ideas.. hehehe
Pearls of pain welling up ๨ŕ§
Jimmy x f readerᥣđŠ.á
Nsfw! Mdni!
CONTAINS: dacryiphillia (duh), praise kink, p in v, degration, power kink?, kinda rough jimmy. Readers not crying from pain, just from overstimulation hehe ᥣđŠ.á
Divider credits: red heart devider by cafekitsune on tumblr !!
â
with each time jimmy thrusted into you, his groans sounding more primal filled with lust. You became more and more needy. You wanted everything he could give you and more. The only thing you could feel was pure bliss. And jimmy knew that.
â
he loves seeing how needy and whiney you get for him, knowing he can give you what you want. But he won't. Unless you beg for it.
â
he'd be so focused on fucking you, nothing else would stop him. Until he saw tears stream down your pretty face..
â
diamond like streams drip down your face, whining and whimpery for him. So pathetic.
â
âkeep going, please,â you begged. GOD THAT DROVE JIMMY CRAZY..
â
hearing you beg like that for him, all needy. Something carnal awoken in him. The feeling of all that power over you, he was proud of how we was able to make you feel such pleasure.
â
"ffuck baby.." God hearing you beg made him pick up his pace, his breathing becoming more heavy, moans becoming more loud and desperate. "Beg for me, baby. Beg for it."
â
he'd coo praises in your ear with each thrust.
â
jimmy loves watching you try to hold in your moans and whimpers, the way your face gets all puffy and hands start shaking, and squeezing him desperately makes something primal awaken in him. And watching the tears finally spill over your face when he makes you cum? He never knew how much he'd fucking love it..
â
he'd kiss your tear soaked face, stands of hair sticking to your face from tears. Peppering soft kisses all over you.
â
he'll lick your tears too, salty tears melting on his warm tongue. "Yeah baby, you like how good I'm making you feel? Yeah?"
â
ofc when you'd cry in serious situations, he'd care and show concern. But when crying from overstimulation?? His cock will twitch..
â
His pace picking up more and more speed by every second, his girthy cock bullying into your pussy. You could feel yourself getting closer to cumming.
â
jimmy knows what you want, he could feel your velvety walls squeeze his cock. He knows he'll make you beg. "You wanna cum so bad huh? Beg for it." "Cmon be a good girl for me."
â
you'd beg like your life depended on it, hearing you beg each time made his dick twitch inside you.
â
"Look at you, so pathetic for me.. fuckk." He could feel you clench tighter around him, feeling himself get closer "cum for me baby cum like a good lil slut." (SORRY I GOT LAZY..)
A/n: SORRY THIS IS SOO RUSHED đ maybe I'll make a part 2 if yall are good for me.đ

mastermind
from aree: The Harbinger Trailer has consumed me yall are getting a brainrot. (I made this when the trailer first came out and have never posted it so here it is).
tw for yandere content
Yandere!Harbingers with a "darling" who is the right hand of the Tsaritsa herself. Not a Harbinger, but nonetheless important because they're the main strategist of the Fatui. I can just imagine the pain for the Harbingers because although darling is within arms reach, they're not allowed to make a move lest they anger their ruler.
Childe who first sees you akin to a younger sibling amongst the Fatui - you're no underling, on par with a Harbinger in importance if not more, protected almost as much as the Archon Herself - it would be hard not to be protective of you. And yet as you fix his wounds after another fight he started, telling him off in place of Her Majesty, giving him tips on how he could've fought better in whispers in between, his growing need for your attention consumes him. When he kisses your cheek (as thanks, he says) in front of the other Harbingers he's already looking forward to you treating the injuries they're sure to beat into him.
Scaramouche who grins when the Harbingers bristle as you walk side by side in the halls of Zapolyarny Palace - he says you should consider it an honor to walk with him, and it inflates his ego when you reply with a small nod and a smaller smile. Behind the others' backs, he follows you like a lost child, always walking behind you, gripping on to the back of your clothes like you might slip away if he's not careful. He's obsessed with the way you look at him and ask him questions about his creation. He fails to see that the adoration you hold for him is as hollow as he is.
Signora wonders if you know when she is at her lowest, that would certainly explain things, wouldn't it? She thinks she has lost her mind when she sees glimpses of her lost love when turning corners too quickly, haunting her when she lets her guard down but then you're in front of her, greeting her with a soft smile that feels all too familiar and she realizes she has gone mad in other ways (she welcomes that newfound madness like the lover that it is, finally coming home).
Pantalone who believes that one of life's greatest pleasures is to own what others cannot - to collect the rare, the exquisite and the hard to obtain - and to have you, a person of great mind and ranking, be dangled right infront of him on a piece of gold thread held by the Tsaritsa, who was he to resist the urge to make you his? (after all, he deserves only the best) The longer he does not have you, the more your worth rises in his eyes.
Dottore who initially wants to pick apart your brain (quite literally) but his interest shifts and doubles when he reaches an epiphany that what he truly lacked from the Akademiya was someone who shared his intellect, a genius to match his own. Maybe you don't share his affinity for biology, but he loves the way your conversations keeps him on his toes (if you weren't a being close to perfection for him before, then you certainly are now.)
Arlecchino who watches as you care for the children in the orphanage, checking in on them even long after they've joined the ranks of the Fatui and compares it to the frigid ways of the other Harbingers. For the first time since being a part of this cold nation, she is envious of the warmth you give (why must you have so much love to share?) She thinks that should the day come she turns her back on this frigid country, she would surely take your hearth with her.
Marionette who finds herself being drawn to the way you move around a room and hold yourself up in front of people, marveling at the intricacies of each part of your body and the way they make up the being that is you (you could trip and fall and she'd still sigh in awe). Her fascination turns you from muse to future subject. Surely such a specimen must be preserved, right? Not to mention, there would be no greater honor than to turn the Tsaritsa's best into a perfect unchanging doll.
Damselette who usually goes quiet when you're in the same room as her, always eager to hear you talk, almost hissing when a Harbinger tries to speak over you. She finds your voice is the one in her head who speaks reason to her when she gets a bit out of control (Does she listen? No, but your voice is always ever so lovely). Wouldn't it be so nice if you're the lone voice she hears always, the same way you're already always in her thoughts?
Capitano who is thankful his mask covers the fond look he gets when you turn to him - not with fear like the lower ranking Fatui or haughty like the Harbingers - but as an equal, leveling him with a gaze that leaves him fooling himself that it means something more. He's less thankful for his mask when someone calls your attention away from him and he can't control the glare he sends their way (maybe if they saw the way he looked at them, they'd finally be put in their place).
Pulcinella is quick to put you in a pedestal - you are someone to be respected and someone to be kept at a distance. And yet as he watches the Harbingers fall deeper and deeper into obsession, he takes it upon himself to protect the Tsaritsa's favorite and the Fatui's brain from whatever his co workers are plotting. As he spends more time with you (making sure the others do not occupy all of your time), the pedestal he keeps you on crumbles until all he sees is another child to keep under his wing. He fails to see he has only fallen into a different hole as the rest.
Strategist!Darling who may pretend to be oblivious to the Harbingers' feelings but is actually letting it all happen to make sure they all stay under the Tsaritsa's rule one way to another.
Does Pierro know what you're doing? Maybe. It's not like he is blind to how the Harbingers act around you, subtle as they try to be. If you spend enough time with him, you might be able to tell that he enjoys watching you play the part of a fool, dancing around the others and making them dance for you, too. He might even step in once he thinks the other Harbingers are stepping out of line, but it all depends on what he gets out of sticking into your business.
I also like the dynamic where although the Harbingers cannot make a move to claim what is "their's", darling is just as trapped. Although they always sometimes want to leave, they know as much as anyone that the Tsaritsa is the only thing standing between them and the others. The moment they try to leave the Tsaritsa's side or they lose her favor, it's all fair game for the Harbingers.
Everyone is stuck in a stalemate until someone makes a misstep.
